A door A gate A passage An exit for the torment gathered in Escape Getaway Flee from all that hurt Locked Shadowed Hidden in the depths of self Taking shape Imprisoning So tight that is hard to breathe
I barely have the strength to... I barely have the strength to keep myself standing, Feet on the ground
Stomp the earth beneath me to dig a deeper grave Soil caves beneath me, a route for me, to be safe Crawl down to the tomb and remain unremembered Coiled to irrelevance, undone and unseen Rest my bones underneath, my disorder ust be paved Below lies redemption, a door, a gate, a pasageway Crawl down to the tomb and remain unremembered, Undone and unseen.
Silence feels like home to the wounded soul Underneath I find the treasured silence
Open up the earth In its coldness I found warmth In its darkness I found peace In its silence I found home Open up this door A place to lock the pain away A place to keep the wrath at bay A place to confine my despair
I fall down to where silence dwells Found home in the binding dark
Let the dark take hold of me Let the dark become me
Finally I found a place to (let it all go)... Finally I found a place to release my blackened soul
