The walls are choking me
With the silence of everything
Four corners closing in

As I fall aside
Pushing against the current
A will to control the decay

Apparitions beckon me
Speaking words of demise
The moonlight paints silhouettes

In counted hours of deprivation
Into the shadows within me I fall
Surrendering all that I have

Upon this path before me
I will face my afflictions
Through the blinding light

And etch my name in stone
The pressure is holding me
With a loss of everything

I can't control my fear
Of falling inside
Saturating darkness

In the distance pulling me
From the center of the world
I light the beacon with hollow words

Surrendering all that I have
Upon this path before me
I will face my afflictions

Through the blinding light
And etch my name in stone
