As I Close My Eyes — Inborn Suffering

Alone, forlorn in silence Nothing left to me But your memory As I close my eyes, as my soul withers

The bitter taste of Deceit For all that's untold This waste of love, a wound in my heart The grace of your body, imaginary lost

The pale distance Devours me from within When shadows are no more And the river stops bleeding

The throne of my dead illusions My monument of pain Is your masterpiece My soul bleeds its black delusions In a flowing torrent of hate And all that you were revives

As I close my eyes

Doomed to my existence Joy swept away The mirage vanished Behind a darkened sky

Hear my cry as I've witnessed The fading of your memory

This agony inside my soul

As I lay myself to rest So I throw myself to Death I drown

As I close my eyes
