Adrift, with a singular purpose

Bring you back to me, bring you back to the surface

So close, yet so far away, I

Watched you die, the voices came to lead me astray

Oh, God, do you even know I’m here?

They guide me to and fro, feeding off of my fear

Even at the cost of my own sanity (Sanity!)


I see before me the ghost of a lie

She tells me everything is alright

Free-falling through the darkness my senses are

Overwhelmingly dead on the insidе


Am I dreaming?

Am I living?

Or am I barely breathing?

My еxistence will bring on extinction

I’m driven to the edge by my forthright conviction

Can’t keep living

When I know there’s nothing I can do

Now that you’re gone, do I know you’re just

A story I tell myself?


Smother me in my sleep

With the image of what was and will never be

Smother me in my sleep

With the image of what was and will never be

My fury never left

It became a part of me (Became a part of me)

I learned to live with my anguish

But I know I’ll never truly be free

I’ve stared death in the face

Defied his enticing eternal embrace

I know I’ll stay alive, I haven’t lost my

Humanity (Humanity)


I see before me the ghost of a lie

She tells me everything is alright

Free-falling through the darkness my senses are

Overwhelmingly dead on the inside


Am I dreaming?

Am I living?

Or am I barely breathing?

My existence will bring on extinction

I’m driven to the edge by my forthright conviction

Can’t keep living

When I know there’s nothing I can do

Now that you’re gone, do I know you’re just

A story I tell myself?


Smother me in my sleep

With the image of what was and will never be

Smother me in my sleep

With the image of what was and will never be

Never be

Never be
