Dark Mountain
I think I’m going blind again
Blurry mist reaping everything
I think I’ve lost the only way
The sign I passed has led me to betray
My existence waits for nothing
But rusty steel is always forcing something
Like the sword in the chest
Getting deeper as I regress
I think I lost my eyes again
Forcing darkness in the heavy rain
I think I died but I can’t be sure
Did I go blind or did I find the cure?
My patience fades as I realise
The dying heavens and the bleeding skies
Numbing pain and diseased lies
They’ll always try to steal my eyes
I think I saw some truth once again
But darkness makes me think that I pretend
I think I see someone in the mist
The mirrors waiting want me to resist
My death is painted on every wall
I see the rocks at the end of this fall
When I land I know that I’ll just crawl
Close my eyes and then repeat it all
