Cerebral Degeneration - Brain Drill

You stand and watch, powerless

Desperately wishing to help

As the one you hold close thrashes about

Knowing their mind will unavoidably melt

Unsafe to themselves

Unsafe to all those around

The past impales and tightens its claws

The future lets the open wounds bleed

The inner walls of the skull close in

Exhaustive mental implosion begins

Indescribable terror completely consumes

Staring straight into wordless doom

Removed from everyone

And everything they know

You stand and watch, powerless

Desperately wishing to help

Wide eyes stare out

Yet consciousness is hollowed

Void, black, lost, go
