Trench
by Empty

Album: Hope and the Loss of It

Verse 1
Watching shadows cover dimly lit walls
Distant voices fill these vacant halls
Close my eyes and pull the sheet over my head
Feels like I'm hanging by a single thread

Chorus
What if I'm lying awake
Screaming and calling your name
Burned out but can't fall asleep
Please don't forget about me

Verse 2
My doubts come rushing like a tidal wave
Do I even have a soul to save?
Fear like the wind blowing through the trees
I've held so tightly to these memories

Chorus
What if I'm lying awake
Screaming and calling your name
Burned out but can't fall asleep
Please don't forget about me

Bridge 1
It pulls me by the hand
Drags me to the ledge
Grabs me by the neck
Holds me over the edge

Bridge 2
My face is full of fleeting sympathies
My pride is crushed under the weight
My body plunges into pitch black
My lungs cave in, I exhale my disbelief

Post-bridge
I let myself slip into a dream
Perfectly free
I let myself slip into a dream
Perfectly free

Pre-Chorus
Close my eyes and pull the sheet over my head
Feels like I'm hanging by a single thread
I feel myself being swallowed whole
I'm finally letting go of all control

Chorus
What if I'm lying awake
Screaming and calling your name
Burned out but can't fall asleep
Please don't forget about me

Outro
Spending my nights watching shadows
Dark fingers of a nightmare
Crawling out from the unknown
I won't confide with despair
