I am a chosen man's claim on unspoken lands. I am the sea of salt, whispering down your throat. I am my father's son, the world at my fingers. I am the tyranny, that is your depression eating away at your soul until you are nothing but a reflection of who you were and who you wanted to be. I am death, the birds chirping your name, the things you see in the darkest of nights, the voices you hear when you're all alone. I am your conscience, leaving you lonely, battered and alone. I am the dream you don't want to dream, I am the words you're afraid to hear, I am the reason you hate your lie, I am the thought that keeps you up at night. I am you, and you are me. Yes, I am death, and I am the reason for the chills that run down your spine, and the reason your heart is trying to escape your chest. I am the tear that swells in your eye as you shadow me from the light of day. I am the choice you make everyday to run away from the dull existence you know too well. I am your pain, I am inside your head, I am your fear of death, I am the weight on your shoulders, I am your insecurities, I am your want for death, I am your father's shame, I am SCREAMING your name. I am you, and you are me

I am You
I am a chosen man's claim on unspoken lands. I am the sea of salt, whispering down your throat. I am my father's son, the world at my fingers. I am the tyranny, that is your depression eating away at your soul until you are nothing but a reflection of who you were and who you wanted to be. I am death, the birds chirping your name, the things you see in the darkest of nights, the voices you hear when you're all alone. I am your conscience, leaving you lonely, battered and alone. I am the dream you don't want to dream, I am the words you're afraid to hear, I am the reason you hate your lie, I am the thought that keeps you up at night. I am you, and you are me.
