Overture to an AvalancheLet me introduce myself, my name is Death, you know me well. Let me introduce myself, I am you, your own flesh and blood. It all began with hopelessness. A desperation for fulfilment. The emptiness inside had left her crying out for more. With emptiness comes desire. With desire comes an invitation. I look down at my hands and my feet, And they're the same as they've always been. But something's different, something's changed, Will I ever breathe again? But as her spirit drowned, her defences fell And her heart was left open to disease. And like a visitor, an invitation is all it needs. Like a fog it surrounded her, Filling every thought that she had to spare. My happiness is gone, It's all dried up. I am empty. I grind my teeth while I die inside. I can' not sleep. There is no escape. You can't run from what's inside of you. There is no escape. Admit it. You love it. There is no escape. Evil is coming for you. Tick tock tick tock, time's running out. Next thing you know you're rocking back and forth on your knees. Begging for more, I'm getting thirsty. Begging for more, begging for mercy. And now the chains are broken. Take my insecurities. Take hold of everything. Give me your love. And in return I am yours. I'm calling you out. Breathe into me new life. I slip my hands into the strings of the puppeteer. My whispers now reach you, they will echo in your mind. My whispers now reach you, they will echo through all time. (Please reach me. I can't get them out of mind. I'm reaching out to you). My hands are tangled in your strings.
