The Broken Bones of This World
Like a wisp of smoke, I dream to just fade out under this dull sky
I can't start anew; the fire I've stoked all my life is burning up
I want to watch it all decay
I can't be a part of this anymore
I feel like I'm crumbling from the inside out
Just like Earth's heartbeat, I deteriorate
All my life has been like clawing my way to the surface for a breath
Just one single breath, before being dragged back down again
I ceaselessly reach for the sky with my feet in quicksand
I reach for the sky with my feet in quicksand
And the more I struggle, the more it pulls me in (the more it pulls me in.. I couldn't care less)
I am so far from what I should be
You all put me here; you all dug my grave
I can no longer push forward in search for a better day
I'm waking up from this hollow dream; I'm waking up to see
A world that can never cure the disease within me
Just don't say you need me, don't say you feel me
I never imagined it would come to this
But now I see: I was doomed from the start
I can't save myself; and I promise, I won't even try anymore
The silence: deafening, the air: suffocating
God, where are you now?
Please quell this affliction 'cause right now
I feel no comfort
I see no hope
I'm depleted
So like a wisp of smoke, I dream to just fade out under this dull sky
I can't start anew; the fire I've stoked all my life is burning up
Welcome the blackness for it welcomes you
It hungers for you
The shadows on the walls
Forever dancing, never smiling
