I can, feel the weight of my bones as they start to drag me down
Expressing the physical and emotional burden, a sense of being weighed down.
Deep inside the shadows, where they all hope that I drown

Feeling so hollow yet there lingers a sting
Conveying a feeling of emptiness with a lingering sense of pain or regret.
I lament the value of my own existence
