Verse 1:
I wake—wake—wake—no, not awake,
The shadows crawl through every break.
Faces—faces—faces—remembered wrong,
I hear their screaming, I can’t be strong.
I bite my hands, I taste my shame,
The walls whisper—they whisper my name.
I fall—I fall—fall into the floor,
The floor that swallows, that hungers, that tore.
Chorus (Fractured):
I am gone—gone—gone—
Eaten by myself,
Devoured by what I have done.
Nightmares—they feed—they tear—they feed,
I am hollow, I am hollow, I am hollow.
Verse 2:
Memory scratches—gnaws—tears the skin,
Every sin is alive—alive—alive within.
Hands I held, hands I broke—
The floor opens, the floor opens, the floor opens…
I choke, I crawl, I burn, I crawl,
I am the wound, the worm, the wall.
Pre-Chorus:
I am the echo—echo—echo—
Of every scream I cannot let go.
The night is teeth, the night is bone,
I am its prey, I am alone.
Chorus (Collapsing):
I am gone—gone—gone—
Eaten by myself,
Devoured by what I have done.
Nightmares—they feed—they tear—they feed,
I am hollow, I am hollow, I am hollow.
Bridge (Looping, spiraling):
Ash to ash…ash to ash…ash to ash…
Blood to blood…blood to blood…
I scream—I scream—I scream—
But the scream is mine, mine, mine…
I am sin, I am shame, I am void, I am pain,
I am—am—am—am—gone…
Final Chorus (Disintegrating, whispered, echoing):
I am gone…devoured…broken…
I am hollow…shattered…nothing…
Nightmares—they eat—they eat—they eat…
I am alone…alone…alone…alone…
Outro (Fading into madness):
I—am—nothing…
I—am—lost…
I—am—buried…
I—am—mindless…
I—am…ash…
