Lyrics
Every soul has its plague
Every individual faces their own challenges and hardships.
Every name carries its weight
Names carry the weight of responsibilities and consequences.
Full of burden and shame
Life is filled with burdens and shame.
We slave on day to day, sadness aflame
We endure daily struggles, with sadness burning within.
For in the shadows alone
There's a dangerous adversary lurking in the shadows.
Lays a dangerous foe
A formidable foe that one must face alone.
Deep into the depths
The creature's dwelling is hidden deep in the depths.
Hides the creatures abode
Its abode is concealed from sight.
We run from its grasp, but fall to its traps
We try to escape, but often succumb to its traps.
A vicious cycle from night to day. I fear its reprisal
Life is a relentless cycle, and fear of consequences lingers.
You can claw and tear away at the skin
Efforts to remove the pain may be futile.
But nothing you can do will rid of it
No matter what, the struggle persists.
Despite flaw you can pray or hide in fear depending how you swallow it
You can cope in different ways, but the issue remains.
It creeps, so sullen, breathing down my neck
The adversary lurks closely, extinguishing hope with darkness.
Dispelling the signs of hope with shades of black
Hope is replaced by despair, represented by shades of black.
Instilled within your psyche does the beast lie
The inner struggles lie deep within the psyche.
Amid sadness and tragedy; amongst your darkest of burden
These struggles exist amidst sorrow and tragedy.
It creeps, so sullen, breathing down my neck
The adversary persists, casting darkness on hope.
Dispelling the signs of hope with shades of black
Shades of black symbolize the erosion of hope.
When the weight of the world presses against your bones
When life's burdens become overwhelming.
The longing for solace, brought six feet below
Longing for solace leads to a deep emotional descent.
Dragging and dragging me down through all sin
Dragging down through sin, exploring dark thoughts.
To witness the darkest thoughts the mind can conjure
Confronting the darkest aspects of the mind.
Fatally, feebly, I wander aimlessly only hoping I could one day become stronger
Wandering aimlessly, hoping for strength to overcome.
Panic sets in; all controls overridden
Panic takes control, overriding rationality.
Disassociation follows as I fight its wishes
Disassociation follows as one resists the adversary's influence.
Stare into the void and it looks back
Staring into the void reveals a reflection of oneself.
False intuition has lead to this path
False beliefs have led to the current difficult situation.
Lost in the void, I'm a glitch in the system
Feeling lost in a system malfunction, a glitch in life.
Left chasing memories I cannot recollect
Chasing memories that are elusive and unattainable.
Lost in the void, I'm a glitch in the system
Continuing to exist as a glitch until the end.
My days are numbered until the plug is pulled
The inevitability of life ending when the plug is pulled.
I beg, and beg for control
Pleading for control, but the adversary mocks.
But the beast points back and laughs at me
Despite pleas, the adversary leads into the abyss.
I beg, and beg, and beg for control
Repeating the plea, yet descending further into darkness.
Yet it lowers me into the abyss
The struggle for control results in a deeper fall.
The view from halfway down
Reflecting on life from a midway point, contemplating release.
Brings me closer to sweet release
Approaching the idea of finding peace through an end.
The view from halfway down
Continuation of the contemplation, moving closer to death.
Brings me closer to sweet death
Approaching the idea of finding solace in eternal rest.
Bring my eternal refuge
Seeking everlasting refuge in death.
Bring me my final slumber
Longing for the final slumber, an end to the struggles.
