So close the hand of death
I can feel the fingers around my neck
Lifeless and soulless
Helpless and hopeless
And left knowing that I cannot control this
So close the final breath
Nearing me, or at least what's left
Digging for solace
Dwelling so aweless
Stuck in this mindset, its process so flawless
Sorrow seeping from my pores
Manifesting in my core
Misery making its home in my bones
This is the lowest of low
Pulling me closer to the desolation below
Sever the ties
I am erasing the line between life and death
Pulling me closer to the desolation below
Sever the ties
I am erasing the line between life and death
Gloom is growing in my mind
Dead in spirit, numb inside
Feelings fleeting, self-depleting
This is the lowest of low
This is the lowest of low
This is the lowest of low
Pulling me closer to the desolation below
Sever the ties
I am erasing the line between life and death
Pulling me closer to the desolation below
Sever the ties
I am erasing the line between life and death
Between life and death.
