lyrics

Into my darkest depths
I gaze long and deep

Darkness closes in
the fear begins to spread
inside of every limb
Haunting every step
shadows of the past
tears my life to shreds

I can't see it as it cuts
my life from every angle
and vitiates my heart
I don't feel it, is this love?
I wouldn't know it's texture
or it's taste on my tongue

This black abyss
reflects my darkest depths
the beast I see stares back at me

So cold and bitter to the touch
the mirror casts a stranger
with hatred in it's eyes
who am I and what have I done?
tears fall down like angels
into the void

This black abyss
reflects my darkest depths
the beast I see stares back at me

No!

Darkness closes in
the fear begins to spread
inside of every limb
Haunting every step
shadows of the past
tears my life to shreds

How can I live when I've seen what I've done
I'm so fucking scared about this thing I've become
As it twists all my memories to madness
and cuts me down to the bone
I've never felt this lost, never so cast adrift
everything that I was has vanished in the abyss
so heed my words if you feel as I do
if you stare too long it will consume you...too...
