From the recording Purgatorium
Lyrics
Inside my mind they are screaming
Can't you hear them?
(I can hear them)
The noise is so loud that I can't even
Decipher what they're saying
The far recesses of my mind
They still ring clear
Watch as it wears me down
(I'm crawling back to you)
My sanity's gone, my backs against the wall
Whatever happens there is not my cross to bare
I'm drowning in this ocean
My thoughts and emotions
Open, open, open up to me
Overwhelming waves
Crash down on my calm stoic face
Unable to shake the feeling that I'm
Taking their pain as my own
I can't begin to describe (I've resigned)
Whatever transcribes inside my own mind
You can always cut short your time, but not mine
And expose less to those held at a distance
Witness, witness, witness the distress
Overwhelming waves
Crash down on my calm stoic face
Unable to shake the feeling that I'm
Taking their pain as my own
Not mine or yours
And still I fear
They've come here
The message is clear
I disappear
Overwhelming waves
Crash down on my calm stoic face
Unable to shake the feeling that I'm
Taking their pain as my own
