"Death Anxiety" lyrics

"Death Anxiety"

My body will be set aflame tonight
Even though my heart will remain, it's cold as ice inside
I feel my fists are buried in the pavement
Helpless to the rotting cancer, sent to ruin my life

I awake to this anxiety
That every breath, every step might be my last

I feel I'm growing numb, a slight chill to my flesh
Like one million knives stabbing a hole right through my chest
There is no comfort
My surroundings bleak as night
The angels of death awaiting for me to lock me in their sights

Lifeless I fear the wrath of God
I hear the dead speak through the walls
Remember me, eternal sleep awaits me underground
I will not wait, for you to follow to the other side

Come on!
I feel closer now
To walk with the dead
Every night I fear is the last with you
So please remember what it meant

I feel I'm growing numb a slight chill to my flesh
Like one million knives stabbing a hole right through my chest
There is no comfort
My surroundings bleak as night
The angels of death awaiting for me to lock me in their sight

I awake to this anxiety
That every breath, every step might be my last
Every step might be my last

Lifeless I fear the wrath of God
I hear the dead speak through the walls
Remember me, eternal sleep awaits me underground
I will not wait for you to follow to the other side
