Perfecting the Void

When built the damage done
 The all-absorbing eye
 With ball and chain
 Against the grain
 Where lost tomorrows die
 Feeding storm
 Yet the walls still stand
 Changing form
 King of nothing on a throne of sand
 Can't break out of this maze
 Said to leave a deep trace
 Once designed
 What's been fought since day one
 In a war never won
 Now defined
 This deadweight of the soul
 A state of seige upheld
 The worlds I weave
 Of make-believe
 In waking dreams expelled
 The more the truth distorts
 The less the mind's a blur
 Thought correction
 Resurrection
 Patching up the future
 Feeding storm
 Yet the walls still stand
 Changing form
 King of nothing on a throne of sand
 Can't break out of this maze
 Said to leave a deep trace
 Once designed
 What's been fought since day one
 In a war never won
 Now defined
 Void of anguish
 Nourished by isolation
 And self-deception
 Subconsciously I must have felt
 As awe and dread increased
 My nightmares would soon all be so vivid and visible
 The punishment came to strike
 ...
 As the roots come undone
 Bit by bit
 One by one
 Ripping out any chance of control
 Life is caught
 In a haze
 Preying on rainy days
 Giving rise to a shell of a soul
 Watch fate take wing
 As the roots come undone
 Bit by bit
 One by one
 Ripping out any chance of control
 Life is caught in a haze
 Preying on rainy days
 Giving rise to a shell of a soul
 What thrives in hiding
 And on fear
 Is making itself known like doubt in the clear
 A shared illusion
 Shown and destroyed
 The error perfecting the void
 Can't break out of this maze
 Said to leave a deep trace
 Once designed
 What's been fought since day one
 In a war never won
 Now defined
