The emptiness is expanding
The components in the air, crashing
Where on earth am I while space forever moves its boundaries?

The chemicals in my head are burning
My stomach won't stop churning.
My bodies turned an ugly blue-yellow
I could be saved if I could only breathe.

But a darkness is embracing
It's closing in, despite the day
The heaviness of a colorless sky
Is crashing on my chest

My lungs are shrinking
My heart might soon cease beating
The soul inside me is becoming undone
I can feel my eyes decaying

This is a joke but no ones laughing
My head into the wall, crashing
Hum as I walk
Hum
Keep the demons at bay
Stay

But this time they won't go away
They embrace me and begin to prey
I can't help but laugh and scream and shriek
Ive got a friend that's here to stay!

They're making the colors weigh on my chest
And my lungs collapse
And eyes decay
But their presence lingers so I am here, alive but in dismay
Stuck in a state of constant soul crushing pain
I  am bounded by their invisible chains

Here I am and forever will be
Personal purgatory
Just my demon and me
