Thanatophobia

Lost and confused Locked up in a dark room Trapped with my thoughts of reality These shadows beg me to take my life drastically Lost and confused Locked up in a dark room Trapped with my thoughts of reality These shadows beg me to take my life drastically Crushed Reality Shatter, like glass I questioned the reaper And the keeper beckons my soul to pass My soul to pass I'm not the first I sure won't be last The face of death forever present like a light in my mind Just when redemption was within my grasp Shroud my eyes Detail my demise And speak of how all men must die This vision is delusion Engulfed in the illusion A constant intrusion, of uncontrollable emotion Don't want to be Black my eyes, rid me of this disease Please relieve me of this catastrophe One weary sound will be the same The shadows fall from my eyes As my lone bedside candle dies Into a crossfire of doubt of an afterlife This void in my chest cannot be filled with your empty promises Realized my fate is tangled in the Gods of death Claws of a being with no mind for human desire Rudimental existence you love will soon expire But now I'm too far gone Breathe out Breathe in I know I'm not the only one How do I get back How do I satisfy this emptiness Let go, breathe slow Embrace the pain that grows Embrace the pain that knows Of all your regrets and woes Let go, let go Let go of the reality you know The shadows fall from my eyes As my lone bedside candle dies These eyes have witnessed the end With peace wrapped up in a body bag Devoid of morality This is what I see I peer into the mind of the defiled I walk down the aisles of existence With limited perception Drawing my scope of the afterlife
