DOWN
I don't want you to see me like this
I'm suffering internally
You shouldn't have to worry
But to whom am I speaking
I know not who will listen
Alone in these times
The now that I've exposed
If you care enough you'll leave
Walk away from damnation
Where do you stand
How far will you follow
I'm going down with my ship
Captain of my universe
Navigate me to my death
Like a lonely star in the night sky
I've shined for all to see
But the distance between us
To far to show respect
Energy is fading
As no one's ringing my bell
Dark consumption is weaving
Something roams through my veins
Tearing at my mental walls
I've seen you all just staring
Through an invisible existence
Eyes closed tight enough
To block the bludgeoned tears
Step back before it breaks
Down I fall
On hands and knees I crawl
Tuned to the sky
I can't hear my savior call
Down I slide
I've made my last stride
The shadows are breathing
And there's nowhere left to hide
Down in this desert valley
I'll die eternally
