A single moment where you let go, you release
And it pounces, it seizes
It grips you with the power of a thousand souls
And never lets go
It has taken hold, swallowed you whole
Drained all the blood from your body
You have been left mutilated, your essence diminished
Leaving you uninhabited and so very barren
Now a voyeur to your own death
Learning to embrace the inevitable
You watch your new face take on the world
With new eyes, completely dead inside
