The shadows grow the light retreats
A cosmic pull that binds my feet
The stars go black the moon turns red
A silent tide inside my head
I watch the sky consume its own
A hollow vastness all alone
I feel the weight the crushing tide
There's no escape from what's inside
Eclipse of the self the light disappears
A shattering silence the sum of my fears
The dark overtakes it swallows it whole
An eclipse of the self devouring my soul
The mirror fades the glass turns grey
Reflections twist then fall away
The shape I was begins to blur
A fractured line of who we were
The void it calls it pulls me in
A spiraling loss beneath my skin
The world collapses the edges bend
And I can't see where I might end
Eclipse of the self the light disappears
A shattering silence the sum of my fears
The dark overtakes it swallows it whole
An eclipse of the self devouring my soul
The stars align then break apart
Each piece a shard of my own heart
The shadows speak in tones so low
A song of loss I'll never know
It's not the end but I can't return
A flame extinguished a lesson burned
Through the void I lose my way
The night consumes the edge of day
Eclipse of the self the light disappears
A shattering silence the sum of my fears
The dark overtakes it swallows it whole
An eclipse of the self devouring my soul
The sky is still the shadows fall
A final silence envelops it all
And in that quiet I feel release-
An eclipse of the self a fleeting peace
