A drifting phantom
A fallen cloud
Gnarled fingers against the ground
Strangled figures of every streetlamp in this godforsaken town
I hear it creaking. I hear it lurk
Beyond the doorway I've boarded up
With projects dropped and friendships lost
All heavy, dark and faded
Watch me stumble through the vastness
As I leave it all behind
Running blindly to what waits, devouring
To stand alone, ready to fight
Ready or not here I come
A festering future a wilted past
A callous hand upon my chest
Scraping sneakers against the grit while
Heartless specters push me back
I see it rising. I feel its weight
A shadow forms from the opaque
With ragged claws and stomach broad
All cruel, starved, betraying
Watch me stumble through the vastness
Watch me stumble through the vastness
Watch me leave it all behind
Running blindly to what waits, to crush everything
We're all so lonely
But maybe I'm ready
Watch me stumble through the vastness
As I leave it all behind
Running blindly to what waits, devouring
To stand alone, ready to fight
Ready or not here I come
