Absolute Zero

Sorrow and regret Tormented mind swells One with the darkness, Pain like second skin. Forged by the calling Of a parallel life Where every being is not born to die. The voices in the distance, They call out for me Yes, they call me by name. As the light drains from my eyes And my memory dims Following down the spiral Still walking the earth The ghost of every memory That I have left behind Like sand, it runs through my fingers Colder than time With death’s still gaze cast toward me I am alive. Now I am pulling myself back out of the grave In the days I am living, this is not a life. We weren’t meant to be saved I will be the one you see when you die Burning in your mind Just like the flame I may have been breathing I was never alive So, remember these words I will be the one you see when you die. Daylight returns slowly. I’m losing sight of who I am In this madness The candle’s been burnt out For what seems like forever If there’s no end to life or death In this nightmare Do we live forever? And with every last breath in my lungs - There is still hope for us here In the mouth of madness. As the light drains from my eyes And as my memory dims Now I am alive. In dreams of the ocean Where space and time won’t matter. In dreams of the daylight I am alive. In death’s gaze I am alive. Watch every nightmare turn into a new reality. Mother, will I breathe again? Mother, is this life all I have? And in the end, the end is this life. Just a vision I will forget, Mother?
