LYRICS:

PROCLAMATION: My mind is in a million different places but it's always with you. When I look out, I no longer see you... But what you put inside me is always there.

It ended, it's all fallen to pieces. This was an experiment; footsteps down the hall. You left but implanted your mark; manic breathing. I have to run and get away; wails of the dead.

What was that... I think I heard something.

Something cracks.

And he says with hazed eyes, a slack jaw and blood pouring down his face, "I love you."

Now the disease is implanted.


UNTIL THE END: You laugh as it ends but there is no sound coming from your mouth. What you put in my head is only getting louder. I run as fast as I can but I still hear your voice in my head. The disease is talking and it won't stop.


STAIRLOW: Stairlow is a place for black hearts. A home you stay, a place I'm trapped in. Legends tell of an escape. I must find it. I must go.

I know what you did, it's in the air. It smells like burnt plastic. It's not paranoia, I swear.

I picked something up, it squirmed and screeched. It cheated reality and went right through my hand. Then it crawled under my nail. I don't think it's going to last.

It starts to rain but it burns. Everyone's running for shelter. I look to the sky and see large birds fly overhead. They look like they're made of skin...

I hear you laugh.


HOLLOW FEELINGS: I woke up and I didn't see you but your presence is here. I don't know what to feel anymore.

The disease keeps talking. Can it stop talking? No? Alright fine... Love swells and sadness pounds, it tells me not to worry. I can't help it.

You're free but you won't let me go.

Here it is, the Stairwell that will help me escape from this place. There's ghosts walking around, I can't get a single word out as I tremble. There's one standing so tall I can't see its head.


A NEW: I tried starting a new but nothing's different. Now I'm trapped walking down these stairs. No one can help me now.


A WARM EMBRACE: Nothing's felt right since. The warmth in my heart has gone away. I feel so cold.


DOWN BELOW: It's cold in here but the love for you will stay forever.

Your love is heard in the black void but it's so far away in this cold black place.

So here I'm left in this cold, black and infinite place waiting for the day to feel your warm heartbeat again


THE DISEASE IS ALL I FEEL: I used to feel everything but now I feel nothing. A blank slate I can't seem to write on. Cracks keep appearing and the stench is unbearable.

It's been 2 years walking down this stairwell and I've learned nothing...

I see the end. The disease only gets louder by the step. I can't stop laughing and crying because I was told the funniest tragedy. Nothing saved me, nothing helped. This was just a descending stairwell. I couldn't be saved and I'm not sure what to make of that.

I've reached the bottom and there only a doorway. I hear the screams behind it. Sounds like the end... The apocalypse. If I open the tomb door, I wonder what I'll find behind it. It doesn't sound good but do I have any other option?

I miss you and I know I shouldn't.


LOVE: What was this all for? In the end was this all worth it?
