Immolation - The Weight of Devotion

Dragging me down, there's nothing left of this broken man Bearing this weight, it weakens me day by day Try to find change, but I'm looking through jaded eyes Leave me here, I know no other way to live Using the fear... to suffer the pain Driven by rage... in this manic mind A life of service... a life in ruin Shattered so slowly... ever so completely I've given so much... it's stolen my soul I'm nothing at all... it defines my being The pleasures of life... elude me still Cast me out... cast me down The hate inside me... overcomes the world It empowers me... It elevates me My devotion blinds me... the darkness finds me Heavy on me... weighing down on me This devotion drives me... my actions haunt me Crushing me... crushing down on me Immolation Breathing The Dark It lets no light in It feeds on my pain I try to feel something Numbness is all that's left With every breath Another piece of me is gone As if life is leaving me Leaving nothing behind Try to hold on My spirit is gone Panic runs through me Fighting the suffering It spites me Entices me It leads me on Then crushes my dreams It leaves me hollow Pulling me deeper It has no compassion It wants full control Try to hold on My spirit is gone Fighting to overcome But every battle is lost Breathe in the dark It's all that's here Breathe in the loss, Awaken the fear In this dark place Tasting my tears Ripping my mind Now madness becomes me Take this sickness away It drains me, it aches me, It pulls all hope from me Like walls it surrounds me It towers above me Keeps drawing me in Showing no love, But loving my sin Breathe in the dark It's all that's here Breathe in the loss Awaken the fear In this dark place Tasting my tears What once was is gone Now misery becomes me
