Plagued by disease
Haunting memories I've never quite recovered from
This is me now, apart from what was left
A hollow shell, broken down at the end of it's wick
The fire burns just bright enough to see the casket shut
The descent
I resent the content, the feeling that steps in
How I wish commitment
Wasn't such a resistance to me in my life
Growing older by their guidelines
A speck upon an infinite timeline
And I feel like it's over much too soon
Designing the lives of the innocent youth
The etchings on gravestones
The memories' painful
But not this time,
I'm taking back what's mine

Downward spiral, spinning out of control
Revolutions
The choice was ours to make
But in the fight or flight, we couldn't get it right
In an attempt to bring a change in me
The complications recognized
Wait 'til the timings right
I'll have you in my sight
I swear to God I'll become the change that we need
What lies behind their idle eyes?
Ideals no longer idolized
My kingdom for realistic expectations
I’ve lost all faith that there’s decency left in
humanity
You used to wonder why I looked to the sky at night
And searched for the reasons why
If it comes down to fight or flight, who will survive?
(Who will survive)
So he paints through all his misery
'Til the brushstrokes stain every inch of the canvas
He can't look away, you'll never be the same
Until he sheds the pain he lives every day
The safest place for you to hide, saving face
Before the light reveals the mess you made
My kingdom for realistic expectations
A taste that lingers, one I'm no longer proud
Ignoring the signs, and watching days fly by
And after all this time I'm still left wondering
Could this ever be worth it in the end?
You're losing everything, you have nothing to show
Using the lines on our palms as maps
To take us back to places we'd once known
Can you remember all the times we spent defining us?
Defying odds?
We hope to find our own way
Deliver me
Free fall into the jaws of malevolence
(Into the jaws)
Your walls are paper thin
Decimate from within
Deliver me

Their bodies dance upon the riverbeds
Struck down, their bodies dance upon the riverbeds
It was a tidalwave
The velvet glove hides an iron fist
The content face the broken hearted
Over before it started
I shouldn't come to mind
You should have more than enough to do with your time
Your tension restrains holds me no longer
As I fall farther
Into the depths of hypocrisy
Never again can we share the same space
The songs that praise your name
They died with me
My senses returning and i'm not afraid
A clever disguise
Wont always cover the lies
Maybe at the right time you could see that you were blinded
But when sunlight fades, would you have forgiven me?
When sunlight fades, would you forgive me?
There is no truth in shallow waters
No greater depth in victimhood
There is a place that we've come to know
Where our own language inspired growth
But these scars were never healed by time, the life you couldn't lead
It dies with me
These visions impaired by changing rates
Capturing frames as confidence fades
Fails to portray the setting sun inside
The phoenix twice denied

Drowning in the wake of my mistakes
The ripple effect reflects what I create
Stranded, though i've never felt more at peace
There was once a time when you and I weren’t enemies
And though we’re building up,
We must not look down
I see your face in a crowd,
and it’s always staring back at me
You want to talk about suffering?
Standing in silence
Black and white is violence
How can I ever win this fight
When both my hands are tied behind my back?
It's too late for you to save face
running from the oppression
So save yourself the dignity
Overthrow, overthrown, take control
You’ve always been an enabler,
Were you waiting on a reason
to release from the disease?
More doubt to exist
Spring has never been my season
I remember when we pushed the concrete beneath our feet
I remember when you said you couldn't put an end to all my suffering
But something changed that day
And now one piece just doesn’t quite fit
Do you see how the light once bright in their eyes is dimly lit?
The sun takes too long to break down,
The lifelines gone too far out now and its never coming back for me,
No, it’s never coming back for us
I just sink
Drowning in the wake of my mistakes
The ripple effect reflects what I create
I'm stranded, and though I’ve never felt more at peace
I’m afraid that you and I weren’t meant to be
Sometimes I just don’t feel like explaining things
Two worlds collide for the last time
An ocean apart, the feeling at heart
a sense of emptiness revived
I leave it all behind
I'm feeling nothing
I feel nothing
Refuse to turn back time
Somehow i’ll make it out alive
And while we’re building up we must not look down
We cannot not look down
Only I can truly see
That you are just a memory
Blackbriar, blackbriar
Tangled in the thorns where you reside
Blackbriar, blackbriar
There's not a place where you can hide from me

What if I believe the night sky is harboring a bright light beyond its shades?
Cast shadows down beneath
A moment in time feels like it’s an eternity
Lost and never-ending symmetry reformed, but cast away
Through our time they face this shallow view of life
To which there is no compromise
I'm done with the days
Of wishing things would change
When they thought that we had just begun
The game was already won
I pull down the shades
Wishing you’d go away
Capturing every word these walls have held for years
Starved
Of the knowledge we pursue
And in their lies, a greater truth
Ambivalent, we reach into it's mouth again
Stealing all that we need
Trapped in the space between us
On the edge of life, a subconscious mind
The fountains of youth feeding humanity lies
Parallel to the great design, we exist
But just for an instant
Playing it over in my head
Never again they said, they said never again
Will the weight of the world fall on my shoulders, when I can barely hold up my own head?
Looking within for the strength to begin again, though I don't want to forget
I’d rather suffocate than suffer routines of the dying dead
And even if the cold fronts ignore us, they’re standing before us
There’s no turning back now
It’s make or break
Sink or swim
On the edge of life, a subconscious mind
The fountains of youth leading humanity blind
Parallel to the great design, we exist
But just for that instant
Never again will I close my eyes
Unable to see the deeper meaning within
Trying to justify the divide as a means to an end
We extend our hand for the last time
Playing it over again
I remember, I remember
Walking through the night
Our backs turned, a world left in embers
Led astray behind the lost voice, we exist
But just for that instant, it was what I felt
