Lyrics
Behind the mask of flesh and bone Lies an abyss you’ll never own Oceans of shadow, tempests unseen Where twisted demons reign supreme
I believed in the logic of mortal minds That mercy flowed like sacred wine But the depths revealed what fools can’t know Some souls are mazes with no way home
The scars they bear are carved too deep The wars they wage, they’ll never sleep
Darkness dwells in everyone Chasms you’ll never find Ancient pain that festers on Poison of their kind Expect no reason from the shattered Expect no grace from the battered Darkness lives in everyone And it strikes like lightning from the void
Life breaks the weak until they turn to stone They burn the world just to feel less alone The older the wound, the deeper it grows Unchanging patterns that nobody knows
When fury erupts without warning or sense Remember their compasses shattered long since Not forgiveness, just the brutal decree Some minds are prisons with no master key
You cannot mend what’s lost to rot You cannot fill what consumes all you’ve got
Darkness dwells in everyone Abysses beneath the skin Pain that echoes endlessly The war they’ll never win Expect no mercy from the wounded beast Expect no light from those who feast on grief Darkness lives in everyone And it hunts without a sound
I thought I saw the truth in faces I thought the masks would fall But we’re all icebergs drifting And I’m drowning in it all
Walking mysteries in human form Carrying storms we’ll never mourn Demanding understanding we can’t receive From hollowed souls too damaged to believe
This is the cruelest revelation Surrounded yet alone Swimming through invisible darkness In minds we’ll never know
Darkness dwells in everyone Even those you hold Wounds that run so deep and wide Destruction takes its toll Expect no salvation from the lost Expect no future from those who count the cost Darkness lives in everyone We’re all just fighting to survive the night
