Death Lyrics

I can feel it coming for me

That thing I've tried to avoid my whole life

I am afraid

More than I have ever been

The thoughts of how deeply it will hurt

Creep in as traumatic waves of darkness

Encompassing my heart as rain falls from my eyes

Promoting growth as the seeds of my past misery are nourished

I have felt this feeling before

It has haunted me ever since that grey summer day

When my world fell to pieces

I tried to hide it but it was only buried deeper within me

Under layers of lies I would feed myself

To disguise the pain I felt

But no matter how hard I tired to run away

To numb away to act as if everything is ok

It only prolonged the inevitable

It is coming for me

It wants to devour me whole like a blazing sun into a black hole

It wants to take everything I knew to be true and destroy it

It is coming for me

But this time I won't run away I won't hide I won't lie and I won't fight it no

This time I will welcome it

This time I will put my sword down and courageously surrender to its majesty

This time I will allow it

This time I will die

As the old me disintegrates until there is nothing left

But ash and ruins of a being who once was

The dust begins to settle

And through the thicket of smoke in the air

The last remaining ember can be seen flickering in the distance

Just then through the silence

A gust of wind blows through

The ember that remains sparks and ignites

And like the Phoenix rising from the ashes of my remnants

I take to the sky

Not as my pain or my doubts or my limitations

But as my truth as my love as my unbounded embodied potential

And I am reborn

In the dark in the darkest night I, I, I'm the light

In the dark in the darkest night I, I die, I die

Into my brightest light
