lyrics

In the darkness, descending
In the dryland death is coming
To the wall
To touch my face
Take my hands
Lead me away

Trough the darkness, unending
Shadows thick and stars unmoving
Lovers pass here, in silence
Should have left well enough alone

I know the the reasons why that I rot from within
But what am I to do if they feel permanent
I can't change who I am, I can't change the ones who have died
Whispers of ghosts are trapped deep inside

I feel it creeping in, it descends on me
A pillar of hope slowly crumbling
How do I kill the rot from the marrow?
How do you pull yourself up when you feel dead inside?

What do you do when the walls are caving in and you want to take a breath
but feel death creeping in?
What do you do when its all falling in and you push through the pain
but feel death creeping in?

I feel it creeping in, it descends on me
A pillar of hope slowly crumbling
How do I kill the rot from the marrow?
How do you pull yourself up when you feel dead inside?


There is no way to erase or forget this
Submission is something I cannot recognize
Will you remember the look on my face,
When you faced me and said that you wanted to die?

There is no way to escape this but I try to hold you close enough to keep you alive
There is no way to escape this but I try to remember that everything, always, will die

There is nothing here
An empty void in which we face our fears

And in the shadows, as time passes you by
As death approaches in the back of your mind
I try to fight it, while you try to find it,
To take it's cold hands in your own and end your life

The sun rises
It always has
The darkest hour
Will always pass

Will you be here to wait it out with me?
Friend, I'm asking you to try
I know how hard you've tried.
