I am here beside you, it is all you've got

In your grief and pain, no one else to trust

You cannot feel it, it is too close

You cannot see it, your eyes are closed

Your senses low, your body cold

Inside your head the flies and the worms

I am here beside you in your bliss and fame

Dragging you back, beyond the silent trail

You did not see from where it came

When it laughed, started the game

Amongst the others, called your name

Inside your head the flies and the worms

You are the mightiest, above them all

Your iron will makes them crawl

You have the power, the words of the wise

But it all comes behind the mask of flies

Sometimes I hope I drown, let it go and fade away

Fall asleep with a shelter and never wake up again

Step aside and leave the signs, save them for another day

I am too weak, I cannot fight, but I am still awake
