Vertigo Chamber

I waste my time racing in circles, pacing straight lines
Searching to find some sense of stillness within my mind
Oh, there’s that sound, amplified echoes of every doubt
Oh, there’s that voice that criticizes my every choice, yet it’s mine
Yeah, there’s been a battle between my ears for years
My foe knows my weaknesses, exploits all of my worst fears
It seems like he’s always two steps ahead, though I guess
It’s because we two share one head
It gives him the advantage, it gives him the upper hand

I know what’s waiting up those stairs
Stalking in shadows, I’m well aware
It’s there in the silence of empty rooms
It’s a voice ever speaking of gloom and of doom, yet it’s mine

And my enemy leaves me with no place to hide
I find he’s always lying in wait in all of the dark corners on my mind

I know what’s waiting up those stairs
Stalking in shadows, I’m well aware
It’s there in the silence of empty rooms
It’s a voice ever speaking of gloom and of doom
Yet it’s mine and it never lets me rest
Ravaging in its relentlessness
It’s hard to admit, harder to accept
That it’s me versus me ‘til I die, then I’m dead, then I’m done

I’m done fighting
I’m done fighting
I will let you down
I will let you down
I will let you down
