Temper and Tranquility - The Descent

One of the few that are mostly done. Got a few more that need some fit and finish. But nothing new I haven't already posted in the past about.

This song is about the way trauma erodes the sense of self, leaving numbness where feeling used to be.

The horizon folds into itself,
Colors bleed until they turn to grey.
Every sound is swallowed by the air,
Each breath feels further away.

I am falling through the seams of sleep,
Where nothing holds and nothing keeps.
Gravity has forgotten me,
I am weightless, endlessly.

The stars dissolve, the sky caves in,
Thoughts scatter like a dying wind.
I reach for words but they melt away,
Even silence refuses to stay.

I am falling through the seams of sleep,
Where nothing holds and nothing keeps.
Gravity has forgotten me,
I am weightless, endlessly.

The air thins out, the world unspools,
No ground, no sky, no binding rules.
My shadow stretches, frays, and breaks,
Until there is nothing left to take.

Each breath is thinner than the last,
Each thought a thread that will not grasp.
I am the tear the fabric made,
Unraveling, afraid.

I am falling through the seams of sleep,
Where nothing holds and nothing keeps.
Gravity has forgotten me,
I am weightless, finally.

There is no sky, there is no sound,
No pulse, no fear, no coming round.
The last thread snaps, the dark lets go,
And I dissolve below.
