lyrics

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
why art thou so far from helping me,
and from the words of my roaring?
O my God, I cry in the day time,
but thou hearest not;
and in the night season, and am not silent.

I am but a worm, and no man;
a reproach of men,
and despised of the people.

I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint:
my heart is like wax;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

For dogs have compassed me:
the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:
they pierced my hands and my feet.

I may tell all my bones:
they look and stare upon me.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

I have balanced on the edge
caught the dark and lit it
fought the demons off the ledge
brought them down and faced them
found the truth behind the door
hanging from the doorway
internalize the outer space
reasons merely shadows

Right here
so far away
all you hidden
all you missed
all you longed for
so far away

fragments of a memory
fragments of a lie
fragments of a soul

Washed out
faded
stretched in time

Event horizon
you tried to hide

Phased
a rift in time

For every step
for every word
you drifted closer
so far away

Closer, closer
away from me
Closer, closer, closer
your private hell

Point of no return

And as you reach the other side
no angles will await you
eternal damnation
the endless journey
across the river Styx
