Reaching into the black abyss
Falling and falling into despair
Torments and turmoil
Chaos, disorder, confusion
Gag me and pull me
Let me alone
Hands grasping me
Do not touch me
They still feel me
Leaving me bare and lose
Do not call me in requisition
I have no need for this position
Yelling in the air
This body cannot tear
The abyss is dark
A dead silence
Yet can be heard screaming
Dead silence
That echoes the walls
Lost in this life
Never whole again
Forever I lay in the dark
I am deep in the abyss
I am the abyss
