Downfall - Compos Mentis

Whirling through claustrophobic tunnels

Thrown from side to side, relentlessly

I’m surrounded by viscous walls

That reach out for me

I flee with broken wings

Through the darkness of eternity

Shadows of memories repressed long ago

Pierce my thready mind

A flight from myself

A flight in myself

I flee with broken wings

Through realms of forgotten nightmares

Raped by the deepest fractions of my mind

It leaves me bleeding

A flight from myself

A flight in myself

But the fear abates

As my hope fades away

Every feeling subsides

In line with the advance of nothingness
