I welcome shades of grey openly

Anachronistic life unending

Unnecessary strain compounding

The failing cognition resounding

I hate what I become

when all I have is this

And the weight collapses me

as the numbness hits

I fail again to break the fall

I'm here all alone wondering how it all will end

Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend

Waiting for light that I know I'll never see

Desperate for silence once again

Asphyxiating will incarnate

The hope of amnesty discarded

I hate what I have done to build the emptiness

Into walls I can't unmake and the prison fits

I fail again to break the fall

(2x)

I'm here all alone wondering how it all will end

Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend

Waiting for light that I know I'll never see

Desperate for silence once again

Desperate for silence (I am) (2x)

Desperate for silence once again
