She is alone, drowning in her heavy darkness.
She chokes on the blackness of the void
And feels it sharper than the blade spilling blood on her skin
His hands are ice around her neck
Her eyes cry out for help
She is alone, drowning in her heavy darkness.

Never did she feel this way before
This vulnerability struck fear in her
A heart shredded by this monster
This man she couldn’t escape
He watches her like prey
She is alone, drowning in her heavy darkness

She is sick but they won’t see
Hiding behind a smile
She feels him watch her every move
She is consumed by pain
And yet, she loves him
She is alone, drowning in her heavy darkness

I beg you
teach me to support the sky

je t'en prie
apprend moi a soutenir le ciel
by Atlas I am referring to the Titan and not to an encyclopedia.

These chains get heavier and heavier.
They get harder and harder to carry .
As I fall to the ground I cry and cry.
So much pain, so much pain.
A light shines down on me.
So bright it breaks every chain.
That light was Jesus. He broke every chain.

you fit into me.
and i fit into you.
where we slid into place.
was something I never thought we'd do.

since we breathed as one.
where we slid into place.
how your weight fell on my chest.
how your hand stroked my waist.

the way you pressed in closer.
how your weight fell on my chest.
when your eyelids heavied.
while your hand brushed my breast.

we layed as one.
the world fell silent.
sorry this got personal

There were never any sad moments
when I'm with you
-------------------------------------------------
It's when I'm away from you
that skies start to dim
and the drowning sensation begins

I amble as if I weigh a tonne

I gasp as if someone has lied

I weep as if I have no words

I mourn as if something has died

when your heart is heavy,
you cannot just empty it -
and even if you could,
who would want an empty heart?

The anchor of my heart
Please let me work

Stop holding me back
This struggle's a fact

Set me free instead
Let me focus on something but that

The anchor of my heart is too heavy
To move forward

I wanna cut it off
But I don't have the power

The anchor of my heart
Killed the message, the life
It is always there, this strife

And I can't move it
It's calm but heavy
It pulls my heart down
To the ground
Until the motion
Is frown
And there is no way back
I'd better understand
My emotions instead
The only way out
Is not to scratch on the surface
To ignore the internal maze
But to take a deep breath in
And to deal with the anchor within

What is unobtainable
can only be obtained
in treacherous wanderings
of the mind.
Thoughts of you can only be satisfied
when the heart is set in stone
Yearning, like the deepest waters
When the heart is plunged,
echoes rings,
endlessly repeating the
senseless expanding
until softer and softer,
stands still.
