Seven Stages

(album: Willow - 2020)

Hello shadow
In my door frame
I can hear you calling my name

Is it my time
I've been waiting
To finally rest my eyes

Descent downward dwelling
On all that's been lost
Another dead end
No way out
Blind but I can see
Screaming but I can't speak

Serotonin withdrawal
Oh God, please not again
Why can't I win
Up mountains I crawl
Falling
I have been forgotten
Happiness on empty
I give up on this life
Why even try
Constantly suffering
I can't handle reality

If only tracing our steps
Could turn back the time
I would change everything
And never say goodbye

Unfortunately for me
I could only learn in one way
That chasing some dreams
Is just a waste of a day

If only tracing our steps
Could turn back the time
I would change everything
And never say goodbye

Back to reality

It's time to move on
Carry forward
Only the weak dwell in grief
Why aren't you over it
What's done is done
In the end we all die alone
I can defeat this
Voice inside of my head
Painting pictures of a life that isn't mine
I am more than the outcome of natural consequence

Plastic people with hollow hearts
Mechanized minds and processed parts
We're in a world where we're always apart
I saw the light, but I prefer the dark

Plastic people with hollow hearts
Mechanized minds and processed parts
We're in a world where we're always apart
I saw the light, but I prefer the dark
