Songtext Death inside Memphis May Fire

Death inside

My mind is racing, everything's changing
All these voices telling me that I should embrace it
Never seen its eyes, I don't think I can face it
Oh, it's getting closer now
I can't fake it, I fear what I've wasted
Days gone by like erasing the pages
Pain so real that I think I can taste it
It's getting, it's getting closer now

I see the hourglass
Flipped upside down
Tell me what is the meaning
If I'm barely breathing when the clock runs out?

(I fight)
I fight the feeling that's been growing und?rneath
(But I can't)
I can't deny that this is death insid? of me
Will I give up and never reach the end?
Get lost inside of my own head?
My demons feed on what is yet to be
Death inside of me

My heart is pounding, fear is surrounding
Don't wanna take for granted everyone that's around me
But if I let 'em in, is it my fault when they drown me?
Oh, I see the end in sight
I need grounding, a break from the doubting
'Cause I can't help but think they might better without me
I wonder when I'm gone what they'll be saying about me
I see it, I see the end in sight

And there's the hourglass
Flipped upside down
Tell me what is the meaning
If I'm barely breathing when the clock runs out?

(I fight)
I fight the feeling that's been growing underneath
(But I can't)
I can't deny that this is death inside of me
Will I give up and never reach the end?
Get lost inside of my own head?
My demons feed on what is yet to be
Death inside of me

Six feet deep in a pinewood box
'Cause we got no say when the reaper talks, go
When the reaper talks

I can't deny that this is death inside of me

(I fight)
I fight the feeling that's been growing underneath (Growing underneath)
(But I can't)
I can't deny that this is death inside of me (Death inside of me)
Will I give up and never reach the end?
Get lost inside of my own head?
My demons feed on what is yet to be
Death inside of me
