After all these years of pretending Like a stranger under skin I'm ready for salvation Breathing nightmares Black controls me as far as I remember Summon memories that hold fear Come close I taste these feelings once again Decay is what they teach me I can't control my fears Thoughts searching for an exit I try to stand my ground As long as you please me Emptiness, my steady friend You please me As I carry the weight I can't await the warmth of passing One last pain awaits me I cut me free Breathing nightmares Black controls me as far as I remember Summon memories that hold fear Come close I taste these feelings once again Decay is what they teach me I can't control my fears Thoughts searching for an exit I try to stand my ground As long as you please me Emptiness, my steady friend You please me As I carry the weight How long can my legs handle the run How long can I carry the weight Like a nova eating suns Emptiness my steady friend Same fight, same shit, same life Call me a coward, but I chose this way My time has come Please forgive me I can't control my fears Thoughts searching for an exit I try to stand my ground As long as you please me Emptiness, my steady friend You please me As I carry the weight You please me You please me You please me
