another year of counted sorrows
twisting through the stagnant air
another day becomes tomorrow
swallowed in an empty stare

again i fall through this abyss
tormented by a silent scream
find a way to live through this
wake myself, escape the dream

so many times i tell myself that nothing here is real
the visions squirm into my thoughts, there is no time to heal
so many things crawl through my head
i don't know how to vocalize
from my tongue phantasms fall
reflected in my dying eyes
gripping me with fingers like a vise upon my heart
watching through my own eyes, see myself, i fall apart

trapped inside an empty tomb
sequestered now inside a word
drowning in a toxic womb
shout so loud and still not heard

choking down this feel of hollow
tangled in a web of lies
run away but still it follows
caught inside my dying eyes

so many times i tell myself that nothing here is real
the visions squirm into my thoughts, there is no time to heal
so many things crawl through my head
i don't know how to vocalize
from my tongue phantasms fall
reflected in my dying eyes
gripping me with fingers like a vise upon my heart
watching through my own eyes, see myself, i fall apart
