Whisper something to me so I can hear your voice
I’m pushing you away, my will be done, it is my choice
You sing to me in inky black with tendrils flailing wildly
Yet I remain in solid stone, no force on earth will move me

Why does it seem that all is slipping further from me?
I build and build and reaching up my arms can not reach anything
Give me something, anything
Why is it bleak and barren
Don’t I deserve the world after building building building?
You dangle happiness before me yet keep it out of reach
My well is dry and still I try to fill it up I seek and seek and seek
Nothing lasts except the empty swallowing my soul
But I will rise above this world and I will fill my holes

My heart and soul belong to me, I am my own
My own my own

I am a fire
I eat the world and defecate the shell

Pride is the key aspect to this song "I'm pushing you away, my will be done, it is my choice" This line especially shows how we as people get into these states of thinking, it really is all about us, but once everything goes wrong we wonder why, why is this happening to me? I did everything I (key word) thought I needed to do... In the end we realize it's not all about ourselves.
