We Blame The Empire Lyrics

Darkness surrounds, can't breathe anymore
I am consumed by darkness and suffocation, unable to escape.

Falling and drowning and feeling no more
I am falling deeper into despair and losing all sense of feeling.

I'm losing my sight
My vision is clouded and unclear.

In the blink of an eye
It happened suddenly and unexpectedly.

Losing my mind
I am going crazy and losing control.

There's no way to find
I am lost and unable to find my way out.

Out!
I am calling for help, pleading to be released.

Why it chose me
I question why I was singled out for this torment.

Why it proves me, oooh!
It continues to test me and make me suffer.

I can feel it in my bones
I am consumed by this darkness and it has become a part of me.

Can you feel?
Do you understand the pain I am going through?

Can you feel ...
Can you feel the same way that I do?

'Cause I feel it in my bones
This darkness has consumed me completely.

It preys on wavering souls, the weak, the insecure
This darkness targets those who are vulnerable and unstable.

Right above, right beneath
This darkness is always close, both physically and emotionally.

A shadow's coming close and I
I feel the darkness approaching.

I can not breathe
I am suffocating, unable to catch my breath.

Feeling sick
I am physically ill and emotionally drained.

Feeling blank
My mind is empty and I have no sense of direction.

I spit the words that stuck like blood
I am saying things that are painful and difficult to express.

Into my hands
I am holding onto my pain and suffering.

It pulls me down - it tears me apart
This darkness is overpowering me and causing me immense pain.

It crawls through my skin - can't breathe in can't breathe out
This darkness is inside of me, suffocating me from within.

I feel the dark in my bones in my thoughts
This darkness has become a part of my very being, both physically and mentally.

Steals the last hope I have
This darkness is taking away my last shred of hope.

That I can't live without
I need hope in order to survive, but it is slipping away from me.

Into the nothing!
I am being consumed by emptiness and despair.

Everything that I had, everything that I lost
I had everything, but now I have nothing due to this darkness.

I lost because of you
This darkness was caused by someone else's actions.

And I'm not even furious about it
I am not angry, just empty and defeated.

Not a minute, not even a second
This emptiness has taken over every moment of my life.

I just feel empty
I am hollow and alone, with no sense of purpose or happiness.

And I am not searching for retribution
I am not seeking revenge, just release from this darkness.

I thought that I could just forget
I thought I could move on, but this darkness is too strong.

It seems this burden lasts forever
This darkness feels never-ending and impossible to escape.

I have to relieve, relieve myself
I need to find a way to release this pain and suffering.

And how could I fall?
I question why I fell into this darkness.

To the ground when I felt save
I thought I was safe, but this darkness snuck up on me.

All my life I
This darkness has been with me throughout my entire existence.

Never thought I'd leave this way
I never imagined that I would be consumed by darkness like this.

Ashamed and lost
I am without direction or hope, and filled with shame.

You took away my colors
This darkness has robbed me of my vibrance and joy.

You took away my colors
This darkness has stripped me of my happiness and identity.
