"Silent Strain" lyrics

Feel the ache

Welcome to my mind, a place where dreams and nightmares slowly intertwine
Reality unwinds
These trials, they test me
And my soul tears and mends
Where temptation exists, my soul, it slowly descends into oblivion

There's something haunting me
I'm living in deceit
My shadow whispers lies
It pulls me off my feet

It's safe to say
I'm not okay, I don't wanna talk about it now
Talk about it now
It's such a shame
That I'm this way
'Cause I don't want to bring you down with me
Bring you down

So empty, so hollow, lost in the depths of my sorrow
I've thrown myself into the wolves den again

Imprisoned by my own thoughts, they guide me
Mapping a dark path where no love will find me
Pathetic, synthetic, I find myself in disbelief
I'm living out my misery

It's safe to say
I'm not okay, I don't wanna talk about it now
Talk about it now
It's such a shame
That I'm this way
'Cause I don't want to bring you down with me
Bring you down
I'm sinking, you're sinking with me and you're suffering
Untie me and you can finally set yourself free
It's such a shame
That I'm this way
'Cause I don't want to bring you down with me
Bring you down

Alone again
I fall into my thoughts and I descend
It never ends
I break, I bend
What will it take
To finally mend this self-inflicted ache
Erase
Erase this never-ending pain
Fill this void
Fill this void I've destroyed

These trials, they test me
My soul tears and mends
Where temptation exists
My soul slowly descends
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
Into oblivion
I am the blade that carved you out

It's safe to say
I'm not okay, I don't wanna talk about it now
Talk about it now
It's such a shame
That I'm this way 'cause I don't want to bring you down with me
Bring you down
