Void - Chains

WHEN THE WINDS SHAKE AND STRIP THE TREES, AND LEAVES TURN GRAY;

I DON’T WANT TO

REMAIN TO SEE THE GOOD DECAY

AND I WON’T STAY TO SAY GOODBYE, WHEN YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU DO TO ME

YOU’RE ONLY HUMAN HOW CAN YOU SEE?

THE SORROW YOU INSTILL IN ME YOU CANNOT KNOW

ANCHOR KEEPS ON DRAGGING ME DOWN, EVEN DEEPER TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAIN

I SCREAM SO LOUD, BUT I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY YOU DON’T HEAR A WORD THAT I SAY

ANCHOR KEEPS ON DRAGGING ME DOWN, I KEEP KICKING BUT I CAN’T GET AWAY

ALONE WITH MY SINS, I’M IMPRISONED WITHIN MY OWN HEAD, AND I SEE NO ESCAPE

I WILL DROWN MYSELF IN THIS SEA TO KILL THIS PAIN WHEN THE STINGS OF EXISTENCE

SEE NO REMEDY

I’LL LEAVE THIS PLACE—THE PURGATORY WITHIN ME—AND FILL THE VOID WITH THESE

THIEVES OF SLEEP, TO OVERCOME THE SOLITUDE OF LETTING GO

I STAND AND I SUFFER, BUT I CAN’T RECOVER

I’M CUT TOO DEEP

THE DARKEST PARTS OF ME ARE BURIED UNDERNEATH NOW, AND THAT’S WHERE THEY’LL

REMAIN

TEMPTATION, TAKE ME AND MAKE ME FORGET

REFLECTION REPLACED WITH SHAME AND REGRET

I WILL LEAVE THIS PLACE
