Text/Lyrics

(Monologue)

Did you know I have no breath?

I lay in snow, within the crypt of detachment. I see no light before me, I cannot turn behind me.

It is so cold, within my white prison, within endless, white darkness. I can feel my hands shaking, in pain, in fear, in frost. My eyes cannot move, cannot look back, cannot look to my sides.

I can only look forth.

And perhaps it is better, to look forth.

For, behind my prison stands tall, unbeatable, overwhelming darkness. It reaches forth, to swallow me, devour me from the inside out. And only my cell can stop it.

It is so numb, within my white prison, within this ageless, shining cocoon. I cannot feel anymore, I cannot see anymore. There is no light in my prison, there is no touch, nor burn.

My hands are already rotten. Dark, slithering gangrene has swallowed them long ago. There is no blood within me, there is but ice, slowly moving, tearing apart my veins as it does.

I cannot feel pain.

And perhaps it is better, to not feel pain.

For, if my cage was melted and broken, then my limbs would shatter. I would not be able to run, run from the darkness waiting for me. And I would drag myself against the snow, with red ice in my veins.

It is so quiet, within my white prison, within blue silence. I cannot hear the jingling bells, the breeze within green leaves. There is no time in this sphere, the metronome is still.

I cannot hear anything.

And it is not better, to not hear anything.

For, within this silence of despair, I cannot sleep, I cannot dream, I can only wallow in an endless nightmare, where screams and symphonies sound alike, where pain and pleasure wear the same mask, where laughter and sobs are identical twins. The silence is loud, so loud, it's deafening.

I cannot go on, for I am imprisoned.

I cannot return, for the dark will swallow me.

I cannot sever these bonds, for I will rot.

I cannot breathe.

(Sung)

I see another face on my face again. I feel, I feel better. Blood stays on my skirt. Cause I, I delete you. You're not even a ghost. I will, I will forget you. My head will explode.
