The sun stares down, as my blood starts to run cold

The walls of sanity begin to fall

Constricting silence invades what was once me

It bores into my brain

I feel the pressure creeping in to take control

I crawl deeper

I fall further

I’m crawling deeper to a place that's unknown

My frail form is failing faster, every twist and turn

Of all the reasons to abandon me here

You go silent and expect me to walk aimlessly

I feel no guidance, no clue or concern

The search continues to an end I fear will tear me to the fucking bone

I feel so lost, where can you be?

Just listen to my voice

I hear so faintly

Just listen to my voice

Standing idle in a daze

There seems to be no trace of help in sight

These beads of sweat rain down

To mark a path of no return

I succumb to the suffering, I find solace in the silence

I feel it lurking through the back of my mind

The unwanted, detached child of the abandoned cries.

My despair, no saviour to me.

I'm drifting in and out, l‘m losing time

My mental fibres are stretched beyond their breaking point

Withered to ruin without reprieve

Hallucinations begin in the cracks of my fractured sight

Painting my pain on a canvas of skin

With blades for brushes and blood for my ink

Memento to the memory of who I used to be

Immortalised in self laceration

As I fade into myself (Oh god)
