Myrryr - The Insects' Secrets Lyrics

Lost in a maelstrom of misery
Life takes from me endlessly
Leaving me broken and empty
Friends turn their backs on me
They even become enemies
Or just plain dead to me
Stepping back I take a look at myself
From the outside, what do I see
Hollow shell of the man I used to be
Torn apart and seething
Waiting and bleeding
Broken and screaming
The Reaper is calling
I feel myself falling
Leaving loved ones in mourning
Drowning in sorrow
As I hang from the gallows
A hypocrite hiding behind a polished smile
A virus consuming life from inside out
In isolation I wait for a sign that never comes
Venom rushes through my veins
As I'm consumed by all I hate
Now it's time I accept my fate
Unable to fight, bound by inaction
My spirit leaves this hateful world
No longer a useless burden
From my dead and rotting corpse
New life shall spring and grow
Insects feed on the secrets buried in my bones
Chorus of cicadas, my only eulogy
My existence was lifeless and empty
Now it's too late for apologies
My soul cries out as I fall
Deeper and deeper into hell
Bidding my mortal life farewell
Wandering alone in a dying grove
Waiting for judgement from below
Or forgiveness from above
What if I just fall down and die
So this broken forest may have life
May my soul escape and be free
Like a feather on a summer breeze
And may the pain of life just cease
As the noose tightens
My shell hangs lifeless
But I keep falling into the darkness
As my end draws near
Nature's call I hear
And I am released from all my fear
