Gasping for a little more than air Rising above it all, it’s nothing more than that The earth crumbles below, I lose myself to death Bat my eyes, strike out, choke down this sweat Skin’s thickening Dark lids closing all around me Try me, once and for all You’ll see, I’m not all there My eyes have lost themselves in you I fear I’m losing you again If you don’t enter it won’t be open for long Take a step towards the door it’s shutting, slamming Faster than I realized Thick-skinned Now more than ever before It’s sickening to see Time for the silence now Don’t let your eyes focus on what’s inside of me It’s too hideous to see Tired of never resting Sick of always feeling This feeling that’s making me Thicken with sickness... Thick-skins thickening I was a little too late, too weak I was never there for you I’m thickening You were always too late You were never there for me It’s sickening This thickening This sickness entering in Dark closing light, I’m closing now, closing now
