i peer through the surreal veil
of this opaque dream,
fighting for every breath of mine.
death is calling my name;
dragging me
down.
oh, following the rabbit down this hole.
falling further and further; down we go.
welcome to the disease,
where you will be awake.
flee and fear from thee;
he will show his might.
as you run into the grave,
welcome back.
your forces will not seize the day.
i will deny and get away.
you tell me
this is the end -
telling me what i'll come to be;
that i will decay into nothing.
i will be free
from all that you've said.
your forces aimed at me,
you face an enemy
that will destroy everything
that you've contorted.
you'll face your creator;
your forces mean nothing-
nothing.
ugh.
yeah.
i will be what i'm meant to be;
a destiny to be fulfilled.
i will be set free from this grave.
you'll be here all on your own.
i will break free from where you've set me down.
i will not be chained down;
this is not my destiny.
break.
i touch the light.
