Convulsions

There is no escape There is no escape Lifeless, hopeless; phantom pains Taking away my sense of me At the brink of a fatality The impulse will drive me insane Stuck inside a shell Hear me screaming for release The sliver lining Eradicating all the pain Disoriented, confused and alone Trapped and paralyzing my soul Behold the sight of oblivion Close my eyes To see another light I'll sleep when I find it I won't give death the right to control my life There is no escape Phantom pain I feel a thousand needles stabbing my skin From my toes to the fingertips Devoid, desensitized but intact Overwhelmed as my vision fades to black How did this come to be? This cannot be the palpable reality Frozen in time A loss of words through the lack of composure Close my eyes To see another light I'll sleep when I find it I won't give death the right to control my life And all my time I'll sleep when I find it I won't give death the right to control my life I think I'm free Free of harm's way I'm so wrong, oh so wrong I think I will die A flash of light Shines before me This too shall pass Only to come relapsing again There is no escape This too shall pass Only to come relapsing again There is no escape Phantom pain There is no escape There is no escape Close my eyes To see another light I'll sleep when I find it I won't give death the right to control my life And all my time I'll sleep when I find it I won't give death the right to control my life I won't give death the right to control my life I won't give death the right to control my life
