The Giant

Falling from my life deep to the sea

Drowning from living to the depths of me

Like the water that burns in my lungs

And the light that slowly fades above me

I'm bleeding rivers and they carried me to the sea

Crushing in this pressure, turning to stone

Roots rip my flesh and fill my skull

As worms dance around my drowning body

Feasting for the one that has gone

But I'm arriving, closing the door, ocean floor

Seven steps from my cradle

Closer to the end with every breath

What is this hell that was made for living?

I am arriving

The giant has grown too big inside me

Mountains of black stone, a volcano of dirt

When it went wrong? Why am I here now?

But not for long

Climbing up from this nest of nothingess

My faihthful steps behind me

Marking my trail with circles, a path for you all

We've been ripped out from the womb

Through blood and pain into this life, and we cry

Ripped out, given, but made to be taken away

I've been hiding this giant for too long

And it's grown like a parasite inside me

Under this shadow I've been walking

Now it's taken over me, and she

The pure girl, leave me before it's too late

Or I will cut your wings

For I can't control this that burns

It flows inside, through my every vein

It fills my fingers and burns my throat

Chains my heart again

Insane pain

I throw myself into this stream

And let it take me down, underground

Here I end, from here I begin

The line is broken like my fragile body

Flesh rots before the giant's eyes

As he awakes from his silent rest

Rips open my chest, steps out from this crest

Don't take over me please, leave this lonely man

Please leave
