This foul darkness makes its jarring return
Unapologetic and unrelenting in its force
Maybe this is just how it's supposed to be
Clinging to unconsciousness
Grasping for departing remorse
Swallow me, oh elusive abyss
I'm sick of being toward between these realms of lucidity
Why won't this darkness surrender to the light?
The war of isolation grows increasingly sickening
And if you hear this plea for death's release
Be warned, the plague of night is upon thee.
How do I shed this binding skin while it is tightening its grip?
Hiding in the glow of light, begging for the fiery pit
So that I may at least feel the burning of my skin
Rather than this faux-complacency I've sealed myself in
The vultures circle me as I lay motionless
My mind is racing as I wait for this severance
Why does it have to be this way?
I'm so tired of this grief
Let me go or take me
I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth
Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear
The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind
The void is now, the void is here
I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth
Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear
The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind
The void is now, the void is here
I know you're trying but you can't fucking save me
The light has fallen and the dark has enslaved me
A standard day has become a painful struggle to endure
Isolation/self-destruction seem to be the only cure
To return my being to complacency again
The question of why becomes 'when will it end?'
I find reclusiveness to be the only thing that keeps me sane
Cast away the rays of light, let the clouds fill with rain
Wash the doubt away, drown the thoughts that stun my core
I can't take this anymore
I feel a weight's been lifted, I revert to sanity
No longer bound to shadows, I can finally breathe
I'll never know why this feeling comes and goes
The answer shouldn't be found, but remain unknown
I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth
Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear
The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind
The void is now, the void is here
I'm not alone, I know this to be the truth
Much greater than me, but still I rot in fear
The simple thought of a simple thought is gone with the wind
The void is now, the void is here
And if you hear this plea for death's release
Be warned, the plague of night is upon me.
