Sustained Collapse
Trapped forever still
Under the weight of eternity
Was I born to be nothing?
The formless condemned to walk the earth
Powerless, forced to suffer
A destiny that's not my own
Gnawing at the inner walls of my sanctum
The beast seeks to feed upon me again
I've let her in to make her home in the stratum
In favor of another minute alone
Poisoned by placidity
I've nurtured my necrosis
Succumbed to the succubus of still streams
Chest heaving under her hypnosis
Yet I feel me,
My grip tightening on what's left
White knuckles wrapped around her neck
Reclaiming what's rightfully mine
Sipping her final breath alas I am anew
Rejoice in the harpy's death
Her song finally subdued
Taking in the technicolor view I'm overcome
Finally feeling after eons of being numb
This must be what's been hiding beyond my burden
Just under my nose
Beckoning behind the curtain
Duality makes itself clear as darkness defines the schism
From amidst the aurora a black cloud emerges
The monolith of pessimism
My blood turns cold as I realize that I recognize these skies
To my disbelief the demon of grief is undying and there's nowhere to hide
Enter sustained collapse
Within the riptide my courage has left me
Standing at the shoreline as I drift from its reach
Swallow the sea, stay swimming, hold onto hope
It's my only lifeline within the riptide
Ah, there it is again, that icy touch. Those familiar fingers finding their place around my legs
Yearning for their lost master
The air escapes my lungs as I slip beneath the black surf
My eyes are greeted by a bloated reflection and I find comfort in my millionth surrender
Under the weight of eternity
Was I born to be nothing?
The formless condemned to walk the earth
Powerless, forced to suffer
A destiny that's not my own
Gnawing at the inner walls of my sanctum
The beast seeks to feed upon me again
I've let her in to make her home in the stratum
In favor of another minute alone
Poisoned by placidity
I've nurtured my necrosis
Succumbed to the succubus of still streams
Chest heaving under her hypnosis
Yet I feel me,
My grip tightening on what's left
White knuckles wrapped around her neck
Reclaiming what's rightfully mine
Sipping her final breath alas I am anew
Rejoice in the harpy's death
Her song finally subdued
Taking in the technicolor view I'm overcome
Finally feeling after eons of being numb
This must be what's been hiding beyond my burden
Just under my nose
Beckoning behind the curtain
Duality makes itself clear as darkness defines the schism
From amidst the aurora a black cloud emerges
The monolith of pessimism
My blood turns cold as I realize that I recognize these skies
To my disbelief the demon of grief is undying and there's nowhere to hide
Enter sustained collapse
Within the riptide my courage has left me
Standing at the shoreline as I drift from its reach
Swallow the sea, stay swimming, hold onto hope
It's my only lifeline within the riptide
Ah, there it is again, that icy touch. Those familiar fingers finding their place around my legs
Yearning for their lost master
The air escapes my lungs as I slip beneath the black surf
My eyes are greeted by a bloated reflection and I find comfort in my millionth surrender
