Lyrics:

Lost in a maelstrom of misery
Life takes from me, endlessly

Leaving me broken and empty
Friends turn their backs on me
They either become enemies
Or just plain dead to me

Stepping back I take a look at myself
From the outside, what do I see?

A hollow shell of the man I used to be

Torn apart and seething
Waiting and bleeding
Broken and screaming

The reaper is calling
I feel myself falling
Leaving loved ones in mourning
Drowning in sorrow
As I hang from the Gallows

A hypocrite hiding behind a polished smile
A virus consuming life from inside out

In isolation
I wait for a sign, that never comes

Venom rushes through my veins, as I'm consumed by all I hate
Now its time I accept my fate.

Unable to fight, bound by inaction
My spirit leaves this hateful world
No longer a useless burden

From my dead and rotting corpse, new life shall spring and grow
Insects feed on the secrets buried in my bones.

Chorus of cicadas, my only eulogy
My existence, was lifeless
And empty

Now its too late for apologies

My soul cries out as I fall, deeper and deeper into hell
Bidding my mortal life farewell

Wandering alone in a dying grove, waiting for judgement from below (or forgiveness from above)
What if I just fall down and die?
So this broken forest may have my life

May my soul escape and be free
Life a feather on a summer breeze
And the pain of life just cease

As the noose tightens, my shell hangs lifeless
But I keep falling into darkness

As my end draws near, natures call I hear
And I'm released
Of all my Fear.
