My Own Mortality

The skin that burns under a sky of steel
This aching and this terror is all that I now feel
Like I am being called to witness my demise
By the hell that I am shown every night when I closed eyes

This frailty that carries with it a dread that perpetuates
Like pieces that only ever seek to just fall away
Eternally I feel it for this end I can only wait

There is a ripping that will forever tear
Until the holes become all that is there
Cause all that starts to decay can never fully repair

Oh when all that we know crumbles underneath the
Terror of all that we can never conceive - I'll take my place

And just like the death that I've lived in dreams
I will give up to this machine my own mortality

The face reflecting back at me I don't recognise
These hands and my skin that are no longer mine
This flesh prison I'm inside is starting to succumb to time

Beyond all horrors that we could ever conceive
When blood has no worth but to soak dirt beneath
From all that rips and tears we will finally be free

Oh when all that we know crumbles underneath the
Terror of all that we can never conceive - I'll take my place
And just like the death that I've lived in dreams
I will give up to this machine my own mortality

I can feel the cracks
Start to join together
I am becoming nothing
Here and forever
