Take It × The Darkness That Answers

If I bury it deep enough… It waits. If I silence it like nothing… It remembers. I wake with a ache in my shoulders, The day has changed but I’m still numb. The weight of the world is draining, These voices inside—what do they want? I'm battling one, slipping on the snow, me. Every breath tightens the grip around my throat. The pain gets too deep, Silence starts its piercing. There is a room behind my eyes, Where every order dies still. Walls built from everything unsaid, And floors that never open. I suffocate in the space That silence doesn't miss. I'M TELLING MY NAMES TO CRACK AWAY FROM BREAKING! Someone please take it from me! I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE! IF YOU FEEL THAT WE PRESS IT! Take it from me! I'M DROWNING IN THIS! The war is waged outside my head, A thousand battles I can't win. Each thought a shrapnel start embedded, Tearing at the skin from within. I try to push the noise away, But it only echoes louder still. My own voice is estranged now, Lost in the clamor and the doubt. Every memory I buried Still knows exactly where I hide. And what I finally listen... Something answers from inside. I DON'T NEED A SPACE! I NEED A MINUTE! THE DARK MEANER'S SAVED! JUST THE STATIC HURT! SOMETHING REAL AND THE HOPE TO HOLD ME! STILL LIKES IT STILL! I REMEMBER! EVERY SHADOW IN THE ROOM! EVERY VOICE THEY CUT ME DOWN! EVERY WORD I NEVER SPEAKED! I'M SCREAMING AT ASH! I'M SWALLOWING IT! THEY CALL ME INNER ROOM! BUT IT NEVER FUCKING LEFT! LEAVE! THE SILENCE SCREAM! LET THEM SEE WHAT I AM! LET THEM SEE WHAT I AM!
