Obsess and Regress

Tear off the flesh that binds confining me
Please kill the ill that pains and sickens me
My mind will die before it ceases to
Torment ferment the shell I, I've crawled into

A past gone fast and lost to shadows now
The clock it stops and now I don't know how
To leave the scene the picture always stays
Can't close my eyes the stains won't away

Echoed regret consumed control
Obsess and regress into sorrow

Blinded now but faces stare inside my soul
Their taunts ring out and claw inside my mind
Crescendo of a choir of pain and woe
I scream to try and drown their sickly cries

Echoed regret consumed control
Obsess and regress into sorrow

Footsteps on an ancient floor
That creaks like these failing bones
Close breath and darkened score
The clock sounds its deathly tone

There is no finality
No peace or blessed relief
