Swallowed

Fade to darkness

Swallowed

My memories are slowly fading
I no longer know who I am,
I guess I'll just lie in the shadows
'Cause there's nothing else to do.

There's nothing left inside
I'm am an empty shell,
Nothing has been the same
Since the day I lost my soul.

There's a monster hiding
Deep within my heart
Slowly taking over,
I can't hold it back.

I'm no longer in control
My thoughts are not my own
Nothing seems real
I'm living in a dream.

Light has vanished from my world
Darkness wraps its arms around my heart
Trapped within this nightmare
I can never be set free.

There's a monster hiding
Deep within my heart
Slowly taking over,
Nothing can save me now.

All my thoughts are gone
I've lost my way
Nothing's where it used to be
The world is dead to me.

I'm not who I used to be
I'll never be the same
No matter how hard I try
I can't seem to break free.

There's a monster hiding
Deep within my heart
Slowly taking over,
Swallowing my existence.
