[OLD VERSION] Hollow Bloom - Chains of Dust

The weight I carry begins to fall Dust slips through, it crumbles all A tethered grip on empty air These chains of dust lead to despair The harder I hold, the faster they break A hollow bond I can’t remake Chains of dust, they pull me down A fragile thread, a broken crown The ashes rise, the shadows bend A silent curse that never ends Each link dissolves beneath my skin The fragments scatter, they dig within A fleeting grasp, a fleeting lie These chains of dust, they leave me dry The harder I hold, the faster they break A hollow bond I can’t remake Chains of dust, they pull me down A fragile thread, a broken crown The ashes rise, the shadows bend A silent curse that never ends The weight of loss, the fear of pain These chains of dust forever remain They wrap around, they choke, they bind A crumbling cage that traps my mind THE CHAINS COLLAPSE, THE DUST PERSISTS A LIFE CONSUMED IN A GRAY ABYSS THE MORE I FIGHT, THE LESS I WIN A FRACTURED PRISON LOCKED WITHIN The dust grows thick, it blinds my eyes The chains reform, they twist, they tie I scream for freedom, but no one hears A hollow weight built from my fears Chains of dust, they pull me down (Chains of dust, they pull me down) A fragile thread, a broken crown (A fragile thread, a broken crown) The ashes rise, the shadows bend (A silent curse that never ends) The weight of loss, the fear of pain (These chains of dust forever remain) (The chains reform, they twist and tear) (A hollow cry that fills the air) The ashes rise, the ground gives way (A cage of dust, I’m forced to stay) They pull me under, they pull me in (A fragile soul in a storm of sin) The chains are dust, the dust is me (My broken voice in eternity)
