As I walk through these autumn days
I feel the bite of winter on its way
These days all seem to fade away..
Vanishing into the darkness from which they came
I know this time the poison is seeping
I know its coursing through my cold dark veins
There is a darkness that is closing in
There is an answer that I am waiting for
Only death awaits..
Its open arms are all I seek
Let death surround me
Eternal sleep sounds so..
There is a reason I do not grieve
When you are not the one that I bereave
I feel like nothing ever changes
There is only an endless night
And in the morning there will be no sunrise
I know I will soon take everything
There is a reason I do not dream
When life is the nightmare unseen
Only death awaits..
Its open arms are all I seek
Let death surround me
Eternal sleep sounds so..
Quickly losing my sense of self
In a time where silent ghosts wept
Clinging to my hopeless plight
I'm losing control
The coldness in my heart has not yet withered
And darkness came
Fleeting emotions and lasting conflictions
Of my dampened soul
Only death awaits
Its open arms are all I seek
Let death surround me
Eternal sleep sounds so sweet
