lyrics

Deep in the void where I hide weak and restless
you bury yourself in my chest.
I can feel you clawing with raw precision
until I can't find quiet in rest.

I'm doing my best not to trust in nightmares,
or the version of me you've possessed.
I don't want to wake up to your consuming shadow
obscuring the life I've been blessed.

But you quietly stalk me in waking hours
with echoes of grief unexpressed,
and I don't know how to stop you from haunting nightmares,
how to rip you out of my chest.
