The Descent

[instrumental intro] [Verse 1:] The lines in truth and fiction blurred and frayed, My soul is worn and tired, My mind's betrayed. Threads coming loose adrift in a sea, Uncertainty pulls taking pieces of me. [Pre-Chorus:] It started like a whisper a shadow in the night, Now it’s building within, without an end in sight. In the mirror, a stranger, A storm in my eyes, Staring through the windows, where reality dies. [Chorus:] Is this real, or a script I didn’t write? Lost in a maze, trapped in the night. Reality's quicksand, slipping away, Grasping for reason in a world of decay. [instrumental] [Verse 2:] Conversations, minefields, words set to blow, A spark of paranoia in a dry forest's glow. Every question, a fire, accusations fly, Trapped in my making, every turn’s a lie. [Pre-Chorus:] Logic, reason, foreign concepts they seem, Echoes of sanity in a fractured dream. The world’s cold retreat, faces in disguise, Empty platitudes, no trust in their eyes. [Chorus:] Is this real, or a script I didn’t write? Lost in a maze, trapped in the night. Reality's quicksand, slipping away, Grasping for reason in a world of decay. [instrumental] [Bridge:] Outbursts of fear, volcanic release, Ashes of frustration, There's never any peace. In the silence, the isolation rings, The madness takes hold, with its chilling strings. [Chorus:] Is this real, or a script I didn’t write? Lost in a maze, trapped in the night. Reality's quicksand, slipping away, Grasping for reason in a world of decay. [Chorus:] Is this real, or a script I didn’t write? Lost in a maze, trapped in the night. Reality's quicksand, slipping away, Grasping for reason in a world of decay. [end] [end] [end]
