lyrics

Freezing, always freezing
My heart stops beating in time
Faltering steps, crushing fear
Life that’s led by frail hands
Conscious, but not like I was before
Urgency, claws my chest
I can’t, hear anything anymore
Cold, this feeling, all encompassing

I see the light, it’s out of reach, so far
This is not what we expected
Not at all what was planned
Falling into the depths

Creeping, always crawling
This void grows larger each day

Cease your struggle, this means nothing
Like the waves, it breaks, it breaks, and breaks upon me

Calm yourself child, it’s over now
There is nothing left to fear
It was never real, and never will be
We’re all here for you, whenever you need
and all that’s left, is silence

Freezing, always freezing
A moment caught in time, always fleeting
Silence, always silence

I see the light, it’s out of reach, so far
This is not what we expected
Not at all what was planned
I see the time, it passes by so unaffected
By our lives
