"It's eating me away", I said to God.
It's rotting in my mind, it's like a cancer.
Is there anything, anything at all to numb the nothingness.
I need a reason to breathe, it's eating me away.

Save me from the rage
And my humanity.
I'm more nothing than being
Is this my legacy?
Feel it eating me away.

Eating me away, it nibbles at my brain.
The question of my existence, and the matter of pain.
I shake my fist, I shake my fist,
At the cosmos and my insignificance.
I need a reason to breath, it's eating me away.

All that I am, all that I want.
All that I lack, come on and save me.
All that I am, all that I want.
All that I lack, come on and save me.
