Grief Eater, Tear Drinker

It preys upon your empathy Your will to take Take on the suffering of others as they bleed Take on the the struggle of those brought to their knees There's no warning It's consuming me The agony devours Taken its toll on it The soul is torn away with ease Beyond reason, we choose to shoulder the burden The shadow creeps in and tightens up its grip Time slows to reveal that We no longer have capacities to feel Invisible enemy It’s stalking a host Starts with one and it spreads from there Slicing within and start to tear It preys upon your empathy Your will to take Take on the suffering of others as they bleed Take on the the suffering of those brought to their knees There's no warning It's consuming me The agony devoured Taken It all turns out the same Alone Beyond reason, we choose to shoulder the burden The shadow creeps in and tightens up its grip Time slows to reveal that We no longer have capacities to feel Helplessly drowning Secluded, self inflicted pain resides This feast won’t stop Lost all control And suddenly the power changes What I'll be and can't control Beyond reason, we choose to shoulder the burden The shadow creeps in and tightens up its grip Collecting the sorrows Longing for the taste You’ve lost all control Control The little we know It terrifies us Rescind the dreaming of our losses They've only begun
