The Great Grey Flame

Numb to the feeling

Trapped in monochromia
An endless decay, in utter dismay
I cannot help but ask, when did this world turn cold?
Or has my life left me freezing?

Oh, the warmth you know
Will leave you frozen cold
In place of burning hate for the love you used to hold
Burning away, the colours all fade
Legends have foretold of the all-consuming
Great grey flame

Bow in its aura
It leeches of the living and feeds on their horror
Gaze in the great grey flame
It's feeding on the living
Consuming everything

Longing to feel something
Anything to end this sickness
I reach in the flames
My flesh burns
I feel nothing

Burn my body
I can't feel a fucking thing
Burn my body
I can't feel a fucking thing

I ache to feel something more
Passively passing life by
It's like I decided a long time ago
This pain is my pleasure, and I cannot let go

Void of all feeling
Numb to this wretched core
Drained of all colour
Burning forevermore
I can't tell if I've left this world
Or when the flames engulfed me fully
Visions all grey
Nothing's the same
I wonder if this life can change
What I'd give to feel something
Will I escape this numbness?
Will I ever become complete?
Numb to the feeling

This disease of mind
Manifested into patterns of all my passions, dreams and fire
Eroding in the shadows
Hand in hand embraced by sickness
Entombed in gloom consumed by bleakness
Oh, I fear the worst is coming
The ache is numbing
The flames keep coming

Bow in its aura
It leeches of the living and feeds on their horror
Gaze in the great grey flame
It's feeding on the living
Consuming everything
Dissolving my body
I feel it taking everything
Happiness is stripped away
I'm numb to all feeling
Consumed by the great grey flame
