I never wanted to feel like this
A slave to my own head
Feeling so incomplete
Holding on to who I used to be

Can I break free
From the grip of reality?
And when I feel a little overwhelmed
You pull me out from the emptiness I feel

With eyes so cold
Retreat, repeat
Can’t break the cycle
I can’t fill this void
With idleness
I’m hanging by a thread

Admire, desire, consume and expire
Feed into their lies
I’m drawing closer to the edge
And I’ve missed Eternia’s call
Lost in the failed existence
It seems to come from nowhere

Twisting words, fleeting thoughts
They bring me to my knees

Can I break free
From the grip of reality?
And when I feel a little overwhelmed
You pull me up from the emptiness I feel

Life can be so relentless
Fear meets the mind
A battle for the soul
The eyes of my oppressor
Circling overhead
Shades of blue
Just like mine
Staring back at me

Am I the cause of my own distress?
A self-made misery?

Can I break free
From the grip of reality?
And when I feel a little overwhelmed
You pull me up from the emptiness I feel
