This Grim Lie

I watched you die I was there to look it in the eye The death consumed the air in this room I drowned in numbness The pain all-encompassing I felt you slipping With every breath a memory Taking me Destiny's blackness Destiny's sea Taking shape for the darkness to devour light I'd been blind Forgetting memory Consumed by the anguish This fucking hurt I drown in a sea I looked death in the eye You forged the path Through the ramparts I felt the fear With every breath go back to infancy Return to sleep Return no normalcy Devouring Death consumed Devoured Death consumed the light We cannot have the light When life is but a glimmering hope of the nightmare And then it's snuffed out by the seconds on the clock Awaiting in defiance Speak to me oh Sacred reaper Look me in the face As I'm consumed with the nothingness This grim life Is coming to us It was only a sigh In the end It was only a sigh In the end It was only a dream unending The truth of darkness and light All is blinding In the darkness of light It's so peaceful life itself extinguished In the fires of forgotten years Helping you find some solace In the voyage to the end In the voyage to the end In the voyage to the end I'm plotting for the final fall Before extinguishing the breathe forever Forever with no dreams of light Falling into See the light leaves your eyes Only memories leaves behind See light the leave your eye Holding memories in my mind A tale of exasperated life Snuffed out quick
