It's like I woke up from a yearlong sleep
I pull myself from the frozen ground, darkness everywhere I turn
I'm trapped, short on air
I can feel my lungs begin to burn
I could search for answers or I could break away
Will I forever wander? I've never been so deprived
I'm forgetting what hope is in the endless night
Will I ever catch a glimpse of the distant light?
The weight of all my shame has dragged me under
I will never be rescued from myself
I'm so deserving of death, so tell me
Why am I worth saving?
I fall away into this sleep
I fall away into this slumber
I feel my lungs collapse, my body stuck in a paper trap
I feel the world shift beneath my weight, a welcome change because I've been so empty
I feel my eyes burn out
Swallow the sight, choke on the sound
I measured out my worth in dark soliloquies
I was unsteady in my movements, unsure of the ground beneath my feet
But you took on my pain, your perfect body broken
So I could find new meaning behind every word you've spoken
Will I be set free? I'm on my knees
My vision has failed me and I can't breathe
