The onset of this familiar emptiness
Comes as little a surprise as the look on your face
It shows unrelenting compassion
Betwixt malignant self loathing
I know that you've concocted
A reason to fall away from me
Convincing yourself that I'm better
Off without you; that you are holding me down

You are an addict
You sprang from the womb this way
You fester in misery
And anticipate darker days
You feel so alive when you're falling
When everything that you hold has taken it's toll on you
You feel so alone when your broken
When everything that you love is soaring above you

Since the day I was born, I could hear your voice
Guiding me and leading me into this path of pain and misery
Once stranded, I was left here to die
But you stayed within my sight
Bringing hope while breathing your love into my lungs
Breathe your love into my lungs
Motionless; emotionless

Everything you are is the product of your agony
My love is the only consolation
You've pulled me into your darkness
Can't you see that we are sinking?
I've tried to climb these walls
But they're painted with the blood of your memories
Your love is the air that I breathe
But your darkness consumes me

This pit you've sucked me into
Has me divided in two
There is no light to see above
No ground below my feet
I feel as though I left my soul high above
As I've descended among the living dead
I'll never breathe again
I've fallen away from you
