"Misery's Messenger" lyrics

All the lights are dimmed
As he feels forced to go
Into this bleak chamber
With just two seats
They face each other
Now, he shuts his eyes

Repentance and dread
A monologue in tears
Unravelling the knot
This truth causes anguish and pain
But who can tie the ends

And every single word
Seems to reach the aura of a ghost
Intimate, though vague and blurred
The truth in all these words
Confessions into the unknown
Or is it self-delusion?

Still his eyes are closed
But they do not stand still
Why this vacant seat?
Questions onerous
Without an answer yet
There must be something more to this

Perception and gloom
Illusive dialogue
A conflict in his head
Increasing all anguish and pain
This truth without deceit

And every single word
Seems to reach the aura of a ghost
Intimate, though vague and blurred
The truth in all these words
Confessions into the unknown
Or is it self-delusion?

Does he confess alone?
What is this spirit right in front of him?
He shies away from opening his eyes
This overwhelming repentance
A confession in vain?
Relief or strain?
Who takes the shame?

And every single word
Seems to reach the aura of a ghost
Intimate, though vague and blurred
The truth in all these words
Confessions into the unknown
Or is it self-delusion?

All the lights are dimmed
As he's about to leave
This deserted place
With just two seats
They face each other
But no soul around – no one
