Another look into abyss as insanity creeps in
A permanent stranger is what I’ve always been
Retreat into void when things get rough
Some kind of suffering just bearable enough
Don’t ask me why there’s absence in my eyes
I guess that’s just a symptom of my self-despise
Don’t talk about how everything will be ok
As this crazy world gets colder day by day
Setting up barricades against any human touch
The shield to protect myself from the constant barrage
But as walls get raised and windows shut in
I find myself alone against the enemy within
You die as you live – scared and alone
Always uneasy, never at home
But out of blind will, despite of it all
Somehow you persist, somehow you go on
