Down Below

Dark clouds of a mind make it hard to breathe
Listening as the world sleeps without me
I feel the pressure in my chest as my heart beats me down below
The faces of people I'll never meet consuming me
Until they're all I see

The memories of when I left off
Slowly give way to the ticking clocks
Until all seems lost
And everything is gone

Can you tell me is there anybody here
I've been waiting for what feels like years
Watching as the air turns cold
This wasteland of a soul
Let our hearts drift down below

Take me down where I hide
Down below my mind
When I hide away from truth
Like all the other fearful people do

Now I lay me down to death

I've been looking up at a world above
Feeling like it is so out of reach
Down below where the rain will come to rest and no one knows me

Breaking ground in fabled times
Romanticizing midnight lives
Silhouettes of passing lights
My eyelids flicker on the inside
It gets so cold that I begin to shake
Tossing and turning always half awake

So don't you know
Down below my heart is growing cold
All alone
Can't you see
There's something choking the air I breathe
Eating away at me

Can anybody hear me out hear me out here alone?

Take me down where I hide
Down below my mind
When I hide away from truth
Like all the other fearful people do

So don't you turn your back on me now
I need someone somewhere somehow
To help me out

And when I feel like I have been lost inside myself for way too long
I try to move along
But I try my best and I still come up short
Caught somewhere between forgotten and ignored

The memories of when I left off
Slowly give way to the ticking clocks
Until all seems lost
And everything is gone

Is there anybody here
I've been waiting for what feels like years
Watching as the air turns cold
This wasteland of a soul
Let our hearts drift down below

Take me down where I hide
Down below my mind
When I hide away from truth
Like all the other fearful people do

Tell me is there anybody here
I've been waiting for what feels like years
Watching as the air turns cold
This wasteland of a soul
Let our hearts drift down below

Take me down where I hide
Down below my mind
When I hide away from truth
Like all the other fearful people do

Down below

Let our hearts drift down below

I don't even know if what I feel is real
