From Halfway Down
Lyrics
Every soul has its plague
Every name carries its weight
Full of burden and shame
We slave on day to day, sadness aflame
For in the shadows alone
Lays a dangerous foe
Deep into the depths
Hides the creatures abode
We run from its grasp, but fall to its traps
A vicious cycle from night to day. I fear its reprisal
You can claw and tear away at the skin
But nothing you can do will rid of it
Despite flaw you can pray or hide in fear depending how you swallow it
It creeps, so sullen, breathing down my neck
Dispelling the signs of hope with shades of black
Instilled within your psyche does the beast lie
Amid sadness and tragedy; amongst your darkest of burden
It creeps, so sullen, breathing down my neck
Dispelling the signs of hope with shades of black
When the weight of the world presses against your bones
The longing for solace, brought six feet below
Dragging and dragging me down through all sin
To witness the darkest thoughts the mind can conjure
Fatally, feebly, I wander aimlessly only hoping I could one day become stronger
Panic sets in; all controls overridden
Disassociation follows as I fight its wishes
Stare into the void and it looks back
False intuition has lead to this path
Lost in the void, I'm a glitch in the system
Left chasing memories I cannot recollect
Lost in the void, I'm a glitch in the system
My days are numbered until the plug is pulled
I beg, and beg for control
But the beast points back and laughs at me
I beg, and beg, and beg for control
Yet it lowers me into the abyss
The view from halfway down
Brings me closer to sweet release
The view from halfway down
Brings me closer to sweet death
Bring my eternal refuge
Bring me my final slumber
