Eclipse

Desolate we wander slowly Weighted shackles digging deep In misery we bloom or wither Inside us our demons creep Blinded by our inner thoughts Pain and pleasure crossing lines Driven by what's in our hearts We seem to miss all the signs Crying out we beg for an escape I can't help but tell myself that it's too late My eyes are blind to the signs Deep within the mind It's like we've lost all sense of time Buried beneath The mind unravels and unwinds Racing, my heart rate heightened I start to panic now I can't recall when this had happened or the spiral down Falling faster into this hell I wonder if I did this? Or if this path was already set in stone? The fear of being free is blinding Hope entwined in misery There seems to be no end Yet on the escape I long for I dig myself deeper Spiral into this sickness Let it dance and like a dream Buried beneath the weight Your mind is now unravelling Writhing in agony I seem to miss all the signs Blinded, I cannot see that I could leave at anytime This will be the grave in which you find yourself And I will be the one to pull you down Your life of ignorance and arrogance will catch up to you If you can live life blind, then you must not cry Let it devour you I can’t survive like this Get me out Just let me be free Racing, my heart rate heightened I start to panic now I can’t recall when this had happened or the spiral down Falling faster into this hell I wonder if I did this Or if this path was already set in stone The fear of being free is blinding Hope entwined in misery There seems to be no end Yet on the escape I long for I dig myself deeper Slipping away like the sand between my fingertips The exits all pass Like an endless nightmare I’m bound for oblivion Desolate we wander slowly Weighted shackles digging deep In misery we bloom or wither Inside us our demons creep Blinded by our inner thoughts Pain and pleasure crossing lines Driven by what’s in our hearts We seem to miss all the signs

Burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds My legs begin to break They snap and bring me down to my knees When did I become this way? In agony, I crawl onward Crushed to dust like the soul inside Struggling to raise this weight Panic grows inside my soul Sickened by sorrow left empty and cold Such panic growing inside my soul A headspace so heavy I'm losing control Powerless the pressure testing how much weight that I can hold Always on the edge of drowning, never taught myself to float Falling Flying is a fleeting feeling Like Icarus I've flown too closе Sick to the soul This weight keeps haunting me I think I'vе lost control Daily the pressure grows and builds in me Put on a pedestal for everyone to judge and see This weight is breaking me down Into a fraction of a person that I dreamed to be This pressure's such a burden If you could only see the horrors dwelling in my mind This pressure's such a burden Heavy is the head of the ones who bear the crown Crushed to death by the weight of a thousand worlds Dragging my corpse by my fingers scrapped to the bone Pressure grows inside us all Sickened by sorrow left empty and cold Pressure growing inside my soul A headspace so heavy I've lost all control Powerless the pressure testing how much weight that we can hold Always on the edge of drowning never taught ourselves to float Falling Flying is a fleeting feeling Frail are the fractures inside ourselves Weakened by the daily strains No one hears the cries for help Hollow shell Trembling Struggling to raise this weight Always forcing down on me A fraction of what used to be Crushed by the weight of eternity Screaming out Won't you please? Someone help me lift this weight All this pressure's killing me Burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds My legs begin to break They snap and bring me down to my knees When did I become this way? In agony, I crawl onward Crushed to dust like the soul inside Struggling to raise this weight Struggling to raise this weight Struggling
