The Fall of Ideals

I secretly crave, crave that scent again Still feel lit pressing on me now Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening I steel my nerves for temptations at hand again [Chorus:] And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all And I hear this calling No secrets, deception for these would tear this down I'll note the past spare the pain Words match my deeds with brutal honesty Never forget these choices were made by me And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all And I hear this calling out Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me Though I am fearful I can not prevent this tragedy My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove Still I believe that this calling will see me through And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all And I hear this calling out My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove Still I believe that this calling will see me through.

I wish I was free of this I see her in my dreams Wish that she wasn't there (But she still haunts me and I) Still feel her breath on me Still want to taste her skin (But I know that would kill me) No! Damn her; still, I choke on her lies Still reeling from her last caress, her goodbye Oh how this sickens me This wretched fools' affair (I can't erase this from me) And now it permeates And every thought I feel The anger writhes in my soul No! Damn her, still I feel my stomach turn Choke back, hold my head high, I'm strong! No! Damn her, still I choke on her lies Not reeling, I'm strong Damn her, still I feel my stomach turn Choke back, hold my head high, I'm strong! No! Damn her, still I choke on her lies Not reeling, I'm strong! I wish I was free of this!

I will not relent no, no Never live with defeat never falter This like the air that I breathe I will not choke on failure I am a mortal man But I'm not fallen I'm not broken I am a mortal man But I'll Hold tight to my beliefs I have suffered defeat, pain, loss Still I push to the edge, never falter For this cement my beliefs I'll will not choke on failure I will not relent
