Took a couple days break (unintended) then was listening to some FAWM catchup and while doing that I wrote this,
[V1]
Sitting on the surface
Watching the ripples of consequence
Riding the waves of choice
And inaction
Just seeking a reaction
Meet in the middle
Let's see if I can't move
The current is strong
And it hurts
Growth comes in spurts
[Chorus]
Hello from the darkness
Within or without
Despair defines defeat
In hands of your own
Hello from the darkness
Can't seem to hide
Cautiously creating chaos
But you are weak
[V2]
That ache you feel it's long been there
Like a raindrop running through your hair
Captivating but cold and wet
Oh no
You couldn't let it go
Whispers of the flames that burnt long ago
The shadows you just had to follow
Mysterious but beautiful
Ah well
Break the spell
[Chorus]
Hello from the darkness
Within or without
Despair defines defeat
In hands of your own
Hello from the darkness
Can't seem to hide
Cautiously creating chaos
But you are weak
[Bridge]
And the spiders they crawl
Relentless and uncaring of your
Discomfort they march forward
Whether to something or from danger
It's a secret never to be revealed
All you know is the uncomfortability
Of thousands and thousands of legs
Endlessly for eons crawling over your skin
Sometimes you just can't win
You just can't win
[Chorus]
Hello from the darkness
Within or without
Despair defines defeat
In hands of your own
Hello from the darkness
Can't seem to hide
Cautiously creating chaos
But you are weak
[Chorus]
Hello from the darkness
Within or without
Despair defines defeat
In hands of your own
Hello from the darkness
Can't seem to hide
Cautiously creating chaos
But you are weak

Absolutely delicious set of lyrics. Very well crafted (As always) and very well flowing.
