| It preys upon your empathy |
| Your will to take |
| Take on the suffering of others as they bleed |
| Take on the the struggle of those brought to their knees |
| There’s no warning |
| It’s consuming me |
| The agony devours |
| Taken its toll on it |
| The soul is torn away with ease |
| Beyond reason, we choose to shoulder the burden |
| The shadow creeps in and tightens up its grip |
| Time slows to reveal that |
| We no longer have capacities to feel |
| Invisible enemy |
| It’s stalking a host |
| Starts with one and it spreads from there |
| Slicing within and start to tear |
| It preys upon your empathy |
| Your will to take |
| Take on the suffering of others as they bleed |
| Take on the the suffering of those brought to their knees |
| There’s no warning |
| It’s consuming me |
| The agony devoured |
| Taken |
| It all turns out the same |
| Alone |
| Beyond reason, we choose to shoulder the burden |
| The shadow creeps in and tightens up its grip |
| Time slows to reveal that |
| We no longer have capacities to feel |
| Helplessly drowning |
| Secluded, self inflicted pain resides |
| This feast won’t stop |
| Lost all control |
| And suddenly the power changes |
| What I’ll be and can’t control |
| Beyond reason, we choose to shoulder the burden |
| The shadow creeps in and tightens up its grip |
| Collecting the sorrows |
| Longing for the taste |
| You’ve lost all control |
| Control |
| The little we know |
| It terrifies us |
| Rescind the dreaming of our losses |
| They’ve only begun |
