As I fall to my knees
I'm questioning everything
It seems there's nothing left for me in this place
Senses thrown astray
The fear clouds my thoughts and gives me an anchor
To keep my feet on the ground
The sound of desperation
Exploding from my lungs
Echoes of fading tones
Leaving behind dry bones
And I'm waiting for something, anything
My will and patience are diminishing now
Reaching out to no avail
Whispering thoughts to myself
Caught in the clouds of frozen hell
The sound of my heartbeat is so sickening
I need it to end
The volumes I speak from inside my head
To make amends
So hold on tightly to the past
Cause it's all that exists
It ends today
And I pray that I'll never come back
Keep restrained
Breathe in the black air
A masquerade of silence
Deepens the sound from the tears of millions
Mourning a lost beacon of hope
The last they'll ever know
So drink to lies
And taste the vengeance
As my rhythm fades away
Fade away
