Hollow Decay - Spiritual Collapse Lyrics

I have not seen the way ahead
Symbols remain empty
The voices I hear are my own
No dwelling forms
Just the world before my eyes
No parallel realms
The absent presence only reinforces
What I've always felt

I seek and call with no revelation
Everything is as it seems
No rules to guide, no mightier than the sun
Just a beating heart

The knowing dissolved the magic
In the tales of old
I fear the thoughts that I trust
Even though within
I yearn to believe the contrary

As if to exist wasn't enough
Gifted consciousness taut to a fuse
Cursed desires of undeath
For the next chapter I fear
Will never begin

Is everyone insane
Have I been left behind
Whispers sound to deaf ears
Figures shine to blind eyes
A spiritual collapse
