A Lifetime Ago - Sea Of Treachery

Crushed by the agony of a silent oppression, cold sweat envelops me as I gasp

for breath

Each of these trackmarks tells its own horror story;

my hands are shaking,

I haven’t slept in days

There’s no denial, I know what waits for me

The calming hand of death is almost in reach

There is no promise

There is no future

Dry your eyes, you know we’ll never tell, and if this secret was so hard to

keep we would fall

I have no option, I’ll throw it all away

I’ve sold my soul;

I’ve lost my mind

There’s noone I can turn to, in whom to confide

My ghost confronts me and I can’t look away

Look at what I’ve become, a shell of a man

My desperation signals my untimely end

The thought of staying painless is all I have left
