Slave - Counterparts

If I allow the light to leave my eyes

I will never see again

The thoughts disintegrate into cognitive pollution

Abandoning my body, renouncing my existence

Show me the meaning of happiness

Trapped inside this nightmare

But I haven’t slept for days

I am a slave

A slave to what I cannot see

Are we being strung along or are we just strung out?

The quest to be clairvoyant:

You are your own black hole

How much longer do I really have

When I wish every breath would be my last?

Your words like rope

Tied around my throat

Remove the earth beneath me

Watch my spirit sink
