When I close my eyes
The faceless ones come to beckon the dying light
And take me so far below
Reaching, godless divine
They hold my mind, then they tear us apart
I don't know where this place breathes beneath my sanity
The sense of dread turns to calm
A pitch-black room where the warmth of illumination quickly rots away
As the old ones wait underneath the breach of sleep for me
I cast away the shell of my former self
Only to be filled with distaste
For the same reasons which lead me here
The same reasons they know
Every sensation, every paralyzing whisper in the deep
Hate, wrath, and apathy
My lust and greed for understanding how
How they reach me from beyond the veil far much older than time
Far much older than me
All I know is that I'm taken so far, so far below
Deceit, betrayal, agony
Only pain and wretchedness
It slowly withers away everything claimed to be
There is nothing but this dark room and misery
Everything claimed to be
There is nothing but the aspects of misery
Reaching out to take me so, so far below
I can hear their whispers with every waking day
I can hear their whispers with every waking day
I can hear their whispers with every waking day
