Counterparts - Slave Lyrics

If I allow the light to leave my eyes, I will never see again
The thoughts disintegrate into cognitive pollution
Abandoning my body, renouncing my existence
Show me the meaning of happiness
Trapped inside this nightmare, but I haven't slept for days
I am a slave, a slave to what I cannot see
Are we being strung along or are we just strung out?
The quest to be clairvoyant: You are your own black hole
How much longer do I really have when I wish every breath would be my last?
Your words like rope, tied around my throat Remove the earth beneath me
Watch my spirit sink
