lyrics

This silence rips into me; it pulls and drags behind me
This is the cross I have to bare and it’s so constricting

Why can’t I wake up?
Why can’t I see straight?
This is the world I’ve laid before myself and I’m a sea of corpses

But now I find my dreams and thoughts are not the only things that haunt me
Now I find my sleep is wrought from the ageless machine

FUCK

Life is so meaningless when you are nothing but an idiot
Waltzing through this life you’ve made so fervently

Why can’t I wake up?
Why can’t I see straight?
This is the world we’ve laid before ourselves and I’m a sea of disruption

To kill, to maim; irreversible
It’s what I crave
But I am feeling an invocation to what I crave

I still remember sitting on the steps that evening
We watched the sun burn the sky into a cloud of ashes
I can feel this conversation waning
I can feel this life dripping out of my fucking hands

See me; the Watcher in the shadows
See me; the ghost of all you left behind

Do you remember sitting on the steps that evening?
They felt so cold against your dead and shattered skin
This is what I have departed from my mind
But I still feel you creeping
Keep your eyes
