Katabasis

I lock myself up
And I'll stall
Battered and chained
To the wall
No scream is the same
When they call
Shattered inane
And I fall
I've never been one to believe now I plea
Screaming to something much bigger than me
Blood dripping down from my throat and I see now
I'm going down
Retching and heaving
Eyes sunken and bleeding
Falling much faster
It's not death I'm after
Retching and heaving
Eyes sunken and bleeding
Falling much faster
It's not death I'm after
Shut it down
A fluid filled head
Not again
No fiery blaze
Just pretend
Scorching my remnants of veins
Each day I am trapped in the flames
I've never been one to believe now I plea
Screaming to heaven to stop agony
Blood dripping down from my throat and I see now
I'm going down
Retching and heaving
Eyes sunken and bleeding
Falling much faster
It's not death I'm after
I'm going down
Retching and heaving
Eyes sunken and bleeding
Falling much faster
It's not death I'm after
Shut it down
Worse off than before
Despite knowing more
My soul dropped to hell, it fell right through the floor
No longer adored
And you can't ignore
My soul dropped to hell
Down and down
Down and down
Down and down
Down and down
I'm headed out
Retching and heaving
Eyes sunken and bleeding
Falling much faster
It's not death I'm after
Shut it down
I'm going down
Down
I'm going down
Down
I'm going down
