I'm told I'm slipping away.
So I push back and say I don't need you.
Embraced in darkness,
Trapped within my own arrogance until I'm finally lost.
Putting my own hands around my throat.
I black out the brightness,

Im so sick, I'm so alone with love all around me.
I've turn my heart into a monster.
It devours all would care enough.
I burn hands of those who touch.

Staring at my feet and I'm hoping the ground never fades away.
Or I'm destined to fall into my snake pit.
I am constricted.
I grit my teeth and suffer the blight, still and quiet.
All the while, the poison seeps deep and I am numb.

Every day I chip away at myself.
Sculpting the beast inside of of me.
Barricades inside my own mind.
Look at me, can't you see.

I am imprisoned.

I black out the brightness. I embrace the darkness,
I do everything I can to make myself feel hopeless.
I can only hope the ground never fades.
Forever housed in this cage. (Can't you see)
I can't break these chains.
I can't shake this pain.
