As they arrive, I'm petrified
And the hell I face will never end
I can do the only thing I know
Give in
Hushed, in the lifeless hours after nightfall
When my unsteady walls are at their weakest
I become aware that they’ve already crossed the line
Slithering nigh, the freezing air
Reveals their presence everywhere
Their intentions depraved
As they arrive, I'm petrified
And the pain creeps in so suddenly
Like a needle pushing through my skin
When they near, the pain is in what I hear
And the hell I face will never end
I can do the only thing I know
Give in
Crushed, between thoughts of failure, gloom and anger
I’ve become so detached
I can’t tell if the outside world keeps carrying on
The distant lights are fading further into the night
Only voices prevail
Bow as the walls come down
Hear how your brittle mind is torn
Shattered across the floor
Your every scar redrawn
And within your soul
A sense of twisted solace stirs
Sweet relief as you concede
Face them
As they arrive, I'm petrified
And the pain creeps in so suddenly
Like a needle pushing through my skin
When they near, the pain is in what I hear
And the hell I face will never end
I can do the only thing I know
Give in
