The absence

Trapped outside
Meditating where the thoughts unfold
Reveal the source of decay
The space and atmosphere are growing, threatening

Through the storm
Fires burning deep inside these walls
Invisible in twilight
Nightmares and memories
Entwined to stake a claim on sanity

They fall around me
The remnants of the past
Take time in purgatory
Broken inside me
Draw strength from what has gone
And I will carry on

Echoes retain the sound of despair
Strains of the filth
Linger in the air

Slashing, ripping through my mind
Abrasive reckoning distorts reality
Slipping away
Not sure if I'll make it out alive They fall around me
The remnants of the past
Take time in purgatory
Broken inside me
Draw strength from what has gone
And I will carry on

Consider life
Consider life as it's been known
Consider emptiness
With absolute invasion
Existence disappears

They fall around me
The remnants of the past
Take time in purgatory
Broken inside me
Draw strength from what has gone
And I will carry on
