Lyrics
The weight that looms above me fills this arid chasm to the brim
A dread that overwhelms me designs the lines wherein shapes
Of distant, strange and often wasted memories
That bear no meaning steal my presence of mind
Through the trees and this tangle of weeds
That is leading me deeper
Desperately into a dream
Where the reaches of fever and sickness of mind
Can't find me
I come to my feet and careening
Screaming into the empty
Looking for something
For anything other
Than me to carry my grief
My tongue is laced with blades of ire
To scrape away this taste
Left by tears and rain and ashes and waste
The faceless coward
Within me glowers
Taking and giving out misery
Through the trees and this tangle of weeds
That is leading me deeper
Desperately into a dream
Where the reaches of fever and sickness of mind
Can't find me
I come to my feet and careening
Screaming into the empty
Looking for something
For anything other
Than me to carry my grief
Away
My endless grief
Save me
Someone
Please
I cannot bear to carry any of this pain anymore
My aching body screams, fading and wasting away
Save me
Someone
Please
My tongue is laced with blades of ire
Condemning me to my descent
Through the trees and this tangle of weeds
That is leading me deeper
Desperately into a dream
Where the reaches of fever and sickness of mind
Can't find me
I come to my feet and careening
Screaming into the empty
Looking for something
For anything other
Than me to carry my grief
Away
Nothing on the wayside left to waste
Eating all of my fears in empty days, away
Take me further from safety for everyone
Take me further away
Left to waste
