lyrics

I sit in the corner of a room without the lights on
withering away more and more every day
can anybody hear me?
can anybody see me?
or am I just a ghost?

for years I've been withering away in a strange and foreign place
my body's deteriorating and all the people around me don't seem to make much sense
this disconnection surely is a poor reflection of who I am
I'm nothing like I once was

THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY WORLD COLLAPSING
I WANT IT TO BREAK ME DOWN
I WATCHED IT FALL
WATCHED IT CRUMBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN
DISMANTLE ME

Two decades and counting I've been plagued with this
and now i need it to be over
This isolation is my declaration
I've given up on trust
given up on the world

I'm nothing like i once was. . .

THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY WORLD COLLAPSING
I WANT IT TO BREAK ME DOWN
I WATCHED IT FALL
WATCHED IT CRUMBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN

in another place. . .
at a another time. . .
maybe I wouldn't have to let my clock run down

THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY WORLD COLLAPSING
I WATCHED IT FALL, WATCHED IT CRUMBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN

again and again. . .

I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
