[Verse 1] Woke from a silent dream, to a searing, brutal scream Not from my lips it flew, but from depths I never knew A sudden, unseen foe, struck hard, a vicious blow My anchors, stone and steel, now shattered, nerves reveal Each fiber, twisted wire, ignited by this cursed fire This temple, once my own, now toppled from its throne. [Chorus 1] Pain took my feet away Feeling so utterly helpless It's even hard to sleep When the agony gnaws your soul This invisible cage I keep! [Verse 2] The floor, a distant shore, I cannot reach, I crave no more Than simple steps, a humble stride, now shackled, by my body's tide A feather's touch, a burning brand, this prison built by unseen hand My own flesh turns, a traitor's sneer, consumed by doubt, consumed by fear Each common task, a mountain high, beneath a burning, hateful sky. The world outside just drifts along, while I'm silenced, in this broken song. [Chorus 2] Invisible chains, they bind me fast This strength I knew, now in the past The walls close in, a shrinking cell My body screams, a living hell This phantom weight, I cannot cast! [Verse 3] The minutes crawl, a torment deep, my spirit thrashes, cannot sleep Or if I do, the demons ride, with fiery pincers, deep inside I watch the sun, I watch the rain, through windows blurred by endless pain A titan's grip, a cruel embrace, has stolen movement, stolen grace My will to stand, a fading spark, lost in this agonizing dark. Frustration boils, a silent roar, "What was I, before this war?" [Chorus 3] My kingdom shrinks to this small bed The vibrant world now filled with dread Each waking breath, a fresh defeat As phantom limbs now drag my feet These cursed bonds, my spirit bled! [Bridge] I clench my fists, I grit my teeth! This useless flesh, this jagged reef! A storm of needles, deep within! Oh, for an end! Where to begin?! My mind rebels, it wants to flee This broken shell that once was me! RRRRAAAAAAGH! [Chorus 1] Pain TOOK my feet away! Feeling so FUCKING helpless! It's EVEN hard to sleep! When the AGONY GNAWS YOUR SOUL! This INVISIBLE CAGE I KEEP! [Outro] Gnawing... always gnawing... Impotent... immobile... The silent torment... takes its toll...
