Ataraxis - Zero Theorem

I’ve grappled with quiet

Sought tranquility

Cut off my own air supply so I couldn’t breathe

Peace was a valuable friend that never stayed very long

I rarely ever opened up

So adrift I didn’t belong

Out of everyone I’ve known

You wouldn’t leave me on my own

The only light that shown

You fought to make me whole

Ataraxis beckoned me

I desired not to feel

Even for a second

I went beyond numbing it

You tried to carve a smile

You tried to force a laugh

When I was torn and vacant

You kept coming back

Out of everyone I’ve known

You wouldn’t leave me on my own

The only light that shown

You fought to make me whole

Ataraxis beckoned and mocked me

Turned its back and left me there

Ataraxis beckoned and mocked me

I felt it everywhere

Out of everyone I’ve known

You wouldn’t leave me on my own

You were the only light that shown

Reviving flesh from stone

Never on my own

You fought to make me whole
