Lyrics by: Autumn

seconds
once ignored – now cherished
as they begin to tick away
panting, like a dog in the wind
throat constricted

swelling as a tumor
i can scarcely breathe
my eyes stand in the way
to the world i need to see
hazy melting images
coated in glue

begin sliding from my view
and i trample on top of them
now a blind fool
now a blind fool

oh my heavy, heavy aching legs
cannot do the work of ten men
to lift my feet of stone
clumsy, my arms
long and leaden

they drag behind me
carving deep trenches in the rotting earth
oh so tightened
stretched beyond belief
my skin cracks

with the weight
of my dying body
and the rage in my head
blood trickles down
from my burning eyes
and stings my charred lips

oh dear god
if you would but save me
so much as a finger on my hand
surely i could find
the strength to climb
atop a cloud in your sky
and echo your praises
into the light of a new day

but my words are lost
as my bones
snap suddenly
and i am left to lie
upon the burning
remnants of my life

seconds
eternity
the clock ceases inside of me
oh this silence,
this emptiness inside

for the grinding of my teeth
at the searing pain
of my flesh and the stench
which infiltrates my every pore

silence
eternity
might as well relax
it’s much too late
to cancel
all my reservations in hell
