Death Throes Lyrics

Beaten down, anesthetized

A spirit desensitized

Hopes and dreams fast fading

Until a sense of waiting

Was all that remained

Yet the "it" never came

Death throes

Less violent than expected

(Was this all I was meant to be)

Rather meek and pathetic

(Under the surface)

Death throes

Fitful scribbles in darkness

(Was this all I was meant to be)

Which took years to surface

Despair and loneliness

Bitter taste of distress

The constant longing for

Something so much more

Always an elusive key

Just beyond what I could see

Death throes

Less violent than expected

(Was this all I was meant to be)

Rather meek and pathetic

(Under the surface)

Death throes

Fitful scribbles in darkness

(Was this all I was meant to be)

Which took years to surface

Years to surface

Thought those times

Were just the beginning

But they were

The beginning of the end

Death throes

Not violent

Not a cathartic crescendo

Just a candle slowly burning out

Flickering before it winks out

But death throes nonetheless

This truly is the end…

Or my last chance

To save myself

Death throes

Death throes

Death throes

Death throes

Death throes

Death throes

Death throes
