You've turned your back on the only way out
Again and again have you fled from your condemning afflictions
Sooner than later I return to the darkness; it's taken my vitality
And though I need light I descend; there must be something more to this
And though I sleep at night there is no escape from this encumbrance
I will tear my name from the very fabric of this world; I will not be known
So that I may feel the sun's warmth again
Shed every tear and break every neck that hasn't been broken
One day I will truly be alone and I will feel real under the sky
Not just another drone; not just another pawn in a vast game
And if I can never find the purity of solidarity I will distort reality
You don't have the strength or what it takes
You are not who you think you are
I dwell deep inside you like a parasitic demon
I fall to my knees and beg for mercy
Perhaps prayer will release me from the confines of this disease
May my sorrow be redeemed and may I be allowed to breathe in air
For only tar has filled my lungs since I was birthed; the dirt, just breathe it in
All it takes is one moment to set back all the progress you have made
But I made no mistake and writhe for it in depraved suspension
I can only see one true escape to break these veins
And let them drain but that will do only one thing
Sleep through the silence and the void that is my life
To breach these walls of humanity I must decide my place
I am all knowing
I know you better than you ever knew yourself
This time you won't survive
You turn to me only at times when you must hide
I will always be here, and I have always been near
And I have always denied hope of reconciliation
At last I find a shimmer in this pit of never ending depths
I move up closer to it, I place my hands upon the breach; the warmth then envelops me
I feel the difference in my stride as I move on through the end
My heart has now been lifted from this infection and I can now be free
You cannot do this to me
You are not free of me yet
I am ingrained within your being
You cannot do this
Oh, the beauty of this world
I have never felt so alive
This truth never dies: I will not soon forget
The gift of life so perfect and divine
I graciously accept my place, humble amongst the stars; that they too will fade
The darkness will never really dissipate
How will I approach my fate?
