[Verse 1]
The weight of my world is resting on thin ice
When the surface breaks, will I find paradise?
As I freeze to death, left to reflect
What a waste of time, I was in retrospect
I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve
In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve
[Pre-Chorus]
(I'm always gone with the wind)
(Crawling in and out of my mind)
(God knows I lost all my faith)
[Chorus]
A sickness with no remedy
Except the ones inside of me
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
[Post-Chorus]
(Annihilate me)
[Interlude]
Do you remember when you said to me
"My friend, hope is a prison"?
Hope is a prison, blegh
[Verse 2]
Of all the patterns that I could create
I built a labyrinth with no escape
To keep myself under lock and key
I am my own worst enemy
I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve
In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm always gone with the wind
Crawling in and out of my mind
God knows I lost all my faith
[Bridge]
A sickness with no remedy
Except the ones inside of me
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
[Chorus]
A sickness with no remedy
Except the ones inside of me
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
If I could silence all the doubt in me
Accept that what is meant to be (Is meant to be)
You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
Disintegrate, annihilate me
[Post-Chorus]
I remember when you said to me
"My friend, hope is a prison"

“This is a song I was excited to hear before we had even got in the studio, because we worked so hard on it, and getting it right. We are a metal band and we are happy with that, but we are a band that likes to experiment with our sounds as well, and this is one of those occasions where we really tr...
