Circle the Dead

Our beginning will last forever, even though we fear the end And the light that blinds our two souls burns brightly in your eyes You forgave all my actions that hurt you inside Then you ripped my heart out I can't take this, you're like a wrecking ball through hell These words don't do justice for what I feel inside I wish I could just wake up with your head next to mine You see me from your blood filled eyes And you judge My life means nothing To you I'm worthless, no warmth just darkness from your heart Am I still nothing? You're bleeding, you're seeing me You are the one thing I'd die for You're my only reason to live Handle your problems or our love burns to death

Just try and understand our claims That your mind can't remain this way If you just stayed here for the while, and listened Cause you've got everything to lose With your pride set you can't be moved If you just faced us that day you'd be here You always knew when you walked away No forgiveness You never cared what you threw away No forgiveness This feels like forever and its eating us inside With hopes script ending We will wait for you

Try to hold on to skin deep memories Nothing speaks or gets a mention Cold and dark blinds eyes suspicious Bleeding wounds in time will heal All others gas away We rose out from our deepest grave Left shedding light on darker days Deflecting all the hate always And now we rise, we rise up, deflecting all the hate Once were deeper than I could have imagined Sleeping's hard with my eyes focused With what my life has never had Looking back at severed ties now See black consume it all Drowning inside the silence but I won't snap I will rise above this Try to hold on to skin deep memories Once were deeper than I could have imagined

You take your chances lying to me More threats of breakdown with you and me You're always sorry for tears that stain Scar tissue spreading, those tears won't fade You will fade to me You take all that you needed Then you threw it all away So now it's over, you pushed too far Those dreams that ended seem so far I'm feeling like a freight train, something coming over me Needles in my eyelids, scarring up my fits again I believe in nothing, cause this fucking world means nothing To you to me any nothing in between But I won't live the lie, I won't live that charade I never told you how to be

Wish we could've had more time to be Worn the pain more just to see Your soul reborn again This is for all those grieving hearts, to stop bleeding Hope has failed again, they put a time when death will win And as the blackened cells corrode we whisper goodbye I just wanted to believe they'd save you Now only time for us to say our final words I see deep in your eyes, I feel you letting go The pain just won't subside, fall back into the light Someone wake me from this coma's fucking grip I've sailed too far with a sinking ship We saw the edge of your life erode away The end is climbing up your spine Take what's left, only memories survive

Past another constant remind of adversity You know your scraping the life out of me I kept it on the inside, I fucking nearly died I would've dragged all you fucks down to hell You broke me down Breaking through this I'm waking to this game You'll bleed the truth when I'm standing above you Clear your head, remember what they did Choose to sacrifice, exact your revenge Take all the hard roads and earn every step Life, let it teach you pain Let it make you stronger Take your fucking dirt nap

I hate to see you like this You're only hanging on by the numbers Searching through the dark Cause you're lost in the struggle Lying in your pain Fight this This war has begun You're last breath is near Our war has begun Prepare yourself Sight and sensation draining away Your body's turning inside out from corrosion Don't let it take your soul Fight this You know we're safe from time Always I'll hold your heart with mine Always

To see those eyes and feel your smile To hear those words once more Your heart is mine and mine is yours Till the end of time If I could I would go And live those days again Just to feel your sweet embrace To be your only one It's only forever It's always been for you I would choke on razor blades Just to speak your name I would stitch my eyes closed To always dream of you I climb aboard your sinking ship To hold you in my arms The silence drowns the sound of screams From your watery grave Too late to forgive I'll never forget you never looked so beautiful Hanging from your fucking neck Die There's only thunder when it rains Can a heart still beat once it breaks? So take my hands and follow me Off the mountains edge And in death is where we will dance Under blood lit skies

I will not be a victim I will not take what's left And I will not breed the violence And I will not step back Will you be there for me? Will you be there inside my pain? I will choose the road my life takes And I will choose only loved ones And I will choose the fights with meanings And I will not step back I will give you nothing I won't give you any tears of mine I will give you nothing I won't give you any part of me All I am, all I'll be was built inside, It's apart of me

Alone and in despair I'm disgraced and aware of my undoing There's no time to die I've even got no spine left to hide My pain forced inside Try and stop this, try and save me God I'm slipping, help I'm sinking Take all that you want, take all that want from me I'll never be what you want You've lost the game and you have all but broken me So sad to see lesson learned, hearts left open I feel so empty, so black with decay I am diseased from the inside, the outsides fading This pressure of my life circles above me It's beating me down for all the shit I take Please help my mind, my body to somewhere it finds peace My soul shall bare my pain This pressure of my life circles above me It's beating me down for all the shit I've done
