lyrics

alluring false pretenses
strategic deceit
hypnotic malfeasance

imprisoning narcosis
no way to escape
only muted cries
from those confined

instantly paralyzed
trigger the sinking
weightless suspension
inwardly shrinking

dormant servility
formulated unwillingly
theft of essence
with no acquiescence

depart my consciousness
to depths dark and bottomless
loss of dominance
to the somnolence

endlessly falling
clawing to find direction
nothing happens no action
only petrifaction

fall to the undertow
no way to escape
accept your fate and watch from below

unwilling occupant
dark disembodiment
forever sentenced
bereft of presence

can't comprehend
no strength to expend
just frozen
impersonally chosen

writhe while immobile
no limb is prehensile
undone and just numb
succumb to the stun

agency passing
now thrashing, attacking, and lashing
nothing happens, no action
only petrifaction
