I am here beside you, it's all you've got In your grief and pain, no one else to trust
You cannot feel it, it is too close You cannot see it, your eyes are closed Your senses low, your body cold Inside your head the flies and the worms
I am here beside you in your bliss and fame Dragging you back, beyond the silent trail
You did not see from where it came When it laughed, started the game Amongst the others, called your name Inside your head the flies and the worms
You are the mightiest, above them all Your iron will makes them crawl You have the power, the words of the wise But it all comes behind the mask of flies
Sometimes I hope I drown, let it go and fade away Fall asleep with a shelter and never wake up again Step aside and leave the signs, save them for the other day I am too weak, I cannot fight, but I'm still awake
I am here beside you, it's all you've got In your grief and pain, no one else to trust I am here beside you in your bliss and fame Dragging you back, beyond the silent trail
