Counterparts - Slave lyrics

If I allow the light to leave my eyes I will never see again The thoughts disintegrate into cognitive pollution Abandoning my body, renouncing my existence Show me the meaning of happiness Trapped inside this nightmare But I haven't slept for days I am a slave A slave to what I cannot see Are we being strung along or are we just strung out? The quest to be clairvoyant: You are your own black hole How much longer do I really have When I wish every breath would be my last? Your words like rope Tied around my throat Remove the earth beneath me Watch my spirit sink
