Who's tipped the scales against me? The balance outweighed perpetually Crushed by our own tombstones And a harsh reality And it washes over me again The feeling of fire against cold skin Awaiting the relief But only finding penance And there is no fighting for air When there is no will As there are no subtleties between foes It's so clear to see As the blend belittle yet follow each other Some of us were born to suffer I've felt the waves of pain Crashing against me And with no sign of escape It's too overbearing There's an enveloping despair And there are demons beneath our skin You can't point the finger unless You've pointed it within And no atonement Can ease the inevitable There's something to be learned As we connect to the unknown I never saw the light 'Til I was already out of the dark And when I thought I'd left it completely The void dragged me back An endless cycle of suffering.
