They Circle Below

Pushing my way through the tide

No Sun above
Drenched in my uncertainty
Corroding sight
The depths blind and beckon me
Suffocating

Expectations build upon me
Trapping the light
My heart pleads to be free
Through the pain I crave a way forth
But my road doesn’t have a clear true north

At the mercy of my failure
Oblivious to the flowers bloom
Inner peace seems inconceivable
Bleached eyes, dye my world in blue

But I embody determination
I'm befriending my fear
As hands of doubt tighten their grip

Panic pervades my head
I reach within, imposters dread
Bending, breaking the mould
I’ll set it up to watch fate unfold

Anguish starts to fade, debt to myself to be repaid

Focus my wrath on the true enemy
Locked in
Feasting on hate, they circle below
Catching the scent of what they’d love
The blood, it thickens
My thoughts thrive while theirs sicken
Infestation of mind

At the mercy of my failure
Bleached eyes, dye my world in blue

The pressure swells all around me
I'm cursed with a desire that slowly erodes my sanity

Blind rage leads to nowhere
The only way out is through

Defiance is a second nature
Show my demons their exterminator

Annihilate
