Under the mask, under the scars

Holes in the past we cannot fill

The only choice is to remain

A shattered shell, solitary hell

Beyond the hills, above the streams

The forest screaming out its pain

No one can hear, no one can see

The only choice is to remain

For every tear fallen to the earth

The burning coals are lit again

Nowhere to turn except within

There is no way to leave this place

Down beneath the broken trees

Clinging onto sanity

Feel the nightfall closing in

Screaming just to stay awake

Blood burning, body freezing

Spirit shaking, mind reeling

Yearning for just one more dawn

Yet dying slow within a husk

Shedding all the earth and sky

Mold into another kind

Turning nowhere but within

There is no escaping this
