lyrics

Why breathe
Why even bother
A sinister ploy for avoiding cessation
I scream at the darkness but nobody’s listening
There’s nobody coming
I’m lost to myself

This is my silence that I can’t just walk by
A two room hole, I sequester myself
A bastardization of life we’re pretending would matter if snuffed out, stone dead and cold
I unfold myself on the rocks of my doing
Memories like nails in my throat
I can’t breathe
I suppose that it’s best as I bathe in the blackness
I’d take my own life were I only so weak

It never ends
(This wanting from the dark)
Give me rest
Nocturna
It never ends
(My mistress out of touch)
Still my heart
Nocturna

I drown, a chemical baptism
Burning inside a cold fire I feed
I’m sick on the inside
A black mass of loathing
Yet physically fine in a life that won’t leave

Calling out for something
Nameless and unfeeling
I could not see the other side
Fading my self-belief
Horizon far from me
Crawling out from under
Weight of my own being
The self-destruction I denied
Safe the sorrow
Cold and hollow
Breathe in a hateful silence

Fight to rise and reach horizon
Cut through a bitter sky
Learn to listen
Bleed for wisdom
No longer truth in violence
Soul and body
Clarity of mind

Now fight to rise and reach the horizon
