I'm on a downward spiral and I'm falling fast Losing touch with reality and imagination Perspective is fleeting, I suspect I'm slightly going mad The signs are all right there to be read Make of it what you desire Interpretation is subjective As I sit here contemplating my next move I feel other presences here with me And they whisper my name Are the shadows real? Are the whispers? In the dead of the night, I hear the voices clearly They whisper my name And caress me with promises of silence and darkness Are they really there? Only they can lead me beyond In the back of my mind (where there's still a shred of reason left) It sounds discordant and speculative I have nothing to hold onto and life is pulling me down "Fuerit morietur hac nocte" they whisper to me from the shadows I am falling so fast I see lights passing me by Distorted shadows in every flash I know that I'm on the way to my end And I welcome the terminal freedom of death I finally understood the voices They whispered I would die tonight
