lyrics

A sudden quickening
I’m seeing everything
But the faces are to me a blur
The silence in my head
Through passages of time
I cannot see beyond the veil
A prison of my own design
The darkness in the sky
Washes over me
Sweeping me away
And every friend to me
Is now an enemy
I got no reason
Left to believe
In anything but breathing
A burning effigy
Is what I want to be
Haven’t got a reason left
To frame the visions
Underneath my skin
I feel buried alive
And sleep is just a dream
I’m running out of time
To reverse the slow decay
When I’m alone at night
It doesn’t feel right
I’ve only got myself to blame
I couldn’t make them stay
I pushed them all away
In a better place I might reclaim
The better memories of mine
I’m tearing it down
To build it back up
I don’t want to die
But I’m not living this way
Show me an ending where I’ll be alright
For I have tried and failed
To be anything
But a stone of lies
Everything I see is cold and gray
Give me what I need to survive
Another day
