Darker by Design - Overthrown by Oblivion

"There watched I for the Dead, but no ghost woke"

Bleakness consumes the light of day
Among these dreary resting grounds
The buried ones I named and called
Yet not one soul was to be found
The essence of all spiritual life
Has been crushed by obscurity
Once eternal to the Night
Forever we'll be gone!

Their deprivation draws me near
Tempting me to disappear
Beneath these shattered, forlorn skies
A blissful emptiness has evolved
This stillness has morbidly enthralled
My weary mind to be withdrawn
Ever so frequently, I've lurked the graveyards in despair
In seek of the departed, who've been unaware that they're no longer here

Oblivious we shall become
The moment we cease to exist
Unconscious we shall forever remain
Once our experience has been dismissed
Eager to languish among the black womb of tranquility
I lust to lay this flesh to rest for an eternity
Oblivion, please won't you come and take this light away
O' Death, seize my breathe, negate me from the living!

Oftentimes I wonder, why am I still alive?
Day by day I wake up contemplating suicide
I want to forget that I ever lived
From this world, I shall now hide
As I disappear I've never felt so satisfied
Deep down I feel nothing
All sensation has been deprived
Exhuming a casket so that I can grieve inside
Peering at a vacant skull
Right through its hallowed eyes
Forever desensitized
My will to live will never survive

Tonight, I'll become one with these worthless remains
Wherein this perfect dark every mortal fades
There is no heaven or hell to believe

I'll become one with these worthless remains
Wherein this perfect dark every mortal fades
There is no heaven or hell to believe

Oftentimes I wonder, why am I still alive?
Day by day I wake up contemplating suicide
I want to forget that I ever lived
From this world, I shall now hide
As I disappear I've never felt so satisfied
Deep down I feel nothing
All sensation has been deprived
Exhuming a casket so that I can grieve inside
Peering at a vacant skull
Right through its hallowed eyes
Forever desensitized
My will to live will never survive

Anxiously, I await my demise
Everything will die forever
Everyone will die alone
In the end, there is nothing
But, a finale of ashes and bones
Overthrown by Oblivion
