Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience

Fear that I've been blind And I'm the reason why I search for cracks in the divine And any hope I find I can't see I've crossed the line I push past it every time Fear that the next time I close my eyes They'll never open again I'm being buried alive by the weight of my mind I'm just a shell of my former self I fight for salvation, my punishment wavered I would've burned, if I knew I'd learn I'm running and running, I know they'rе still coming, I'm right here To dream, to forgеt Why did you never look for me? We're severed To dream, to forget Sat with the fear that I've been blind And I'm the reason why I search for cracks in the divine And any hope I find I keep running from and I I can't see I've crossed a line I push past it every time Fear that the next time I close my eyes They'll never open again Feeling sick and tired of the wasted Trying to make sense Starting fires to see the smoke Dealing with the lies, with the intent Feeling incensed You cut the wires, I fall below It's hard enough That you say love it is a weakness Makes you careless, now Hard enough So who is it you're trying to impress 'Cause honestly I never needed a push in the right direction I saw enough hatred in my reflection The entertaining of a pointless confession Reflecting on lessons but we're missing the message Sat with the fear that I've been blind And I'm the reason why I search for cracks in the divine And any hope I find I keep running from and I I can't see I've crossed the line I push past it every time Fear that the next time I close my eyes They'll never open again So here's to hoping, or coping, and hiding fractures, you're showing We just want to dream to forget The fires extinguished but the embers are glowing I guess I'll go it alone I guess I'll go it alone Who needs false hope Just forget it

There's no antidote, violence is their only hope Born into a battleground, a blood-soaked Eden Cut throat attitude, a noise heard in an empty room Promises of retribution, words like daggers There's no antidote, violence is their only hope Born into a battleground, a blood-soaked Eden Cut throat attitude, a noise heard in an empty room Promises of retribution, words like daggers This is a wasteland This is a wasteland Lights out We fall into a state of mind Our time to balance out a turning tide Another year defending our fate Where nothing is reliable and no one hears you pray Why am I afraid? As real as the blood flowing through your veins You and me, we are the same Could I be a waste of your time? Oh, for the rest of my life It feels like I'm caught in a trap Never to find what I lack As every limb turns to stone Contemplating to face the unknown I've gone too far to turn back And all of your words have cut marks Straight to the bone Forcing cold silence We're stopping time Join us in this Our ritual sinking Join us Show us what we're made for As we're stepping over those that aren't able Can't you hear them amongst the mayhem A generation in a crushing isolation Could I be a waste of your time? Oh, for the rest of my life It feels like I'm caught in a trap Never to find what I lack As every limb turns to stone Contemplating to face the unknown I've gone too far to turn back And all of your words have cut marks This body, a wasteland Of broken hearts and empty veins The lessons I should learn They have worn my will away And I'm holding the words back In spite of every bitter taste Caught in the same trap Poisoned by my mistakes and I'm doomed to this wasteland There's no antidote, violence is their only hope Born into a battleground, a blood-soaked Eden Cut throat attitude, a noise heard in an empty room Promises of retribution, words like daggers

I can see behind the late-night firefights As if the smoke is your lies An after image etching outlines outright Run away from the finite Try to rationalise, I still know you Still trying to undo the inescapable I can see behind the late-night firefights As if the smoke is your lies I can see behind the late-night firefights I can see behind the late-night firefights Am I your denial? Do I remind you of what was right? Eternity redefined To be as fleeting as one more night So will you haunt me, with that same patience? Empty echoes, a presence wasted Am I to rely? On memories in a fading light That's all we ever made Do I keep hoping, do I get through a day at a time? I am not blind now that I’m seeing the light I know you'd be happier, silence isn't helping us Alone, smoke consuming all I’ve been wishing for dawn to break through Trying to make sense of me without you And all we have are now these late-night firefights Won't you say something? Am I your denial? Do I remind you of what was right? Eternity redefined To be as fleeting as one more night So will you haunt me, with that same patience? Empty echoes, a presence wasted Am I to rely? On memories in a fading light That's all we ever made I know you'd be happier Silence isn't helping us That's all we ever made I know you'd be happier Silence isn't helping us

When did I accept this pain in my chest This constant regret, this hope to forget Without am I less? With doubt, I've been blessed Devout, I confessed, I prayed but I'm deaf to it Is there fate in change, or is that search for meaning? What you seek within, you think you find by leaving I've found no throne Worth life undone So level-out, let it in I've never seen heaven sent Rain down, eyes up Rise up It's like I've nevеr seen the sky before And I wanna know What it's likе to fall So I climb out to the ledge once more Two deep breaths and then I'll fly I'm sure We grab at roses like they have no thorns And we fall in love just to destroy it all To fall on force, whenever words fall short Leaves stolen voices silenced, never echo on I've found no throne Worth life undone So level-out, let it in I've never seen heaven sent Rain down, eyes up Rise up When did I accept this pain in my chest This constant regret, this hope to forget Without am I less? With doubt, I've been blessed Devout, I confessed, I've prayed but I'm deaf When did I accept this pain in my chest This constant regret, this hope to forget Without am I less? With doubt, I've been blessed Devout, I confessed, I prayed but I'm deaf to it I've found no throne Worth life undone So level-out, let it in I've never seen heaven sent Rain down, eyes up Rise up

The earth is sick I felt life drain away And watched wickedness reign I've heard lies justified in the interest of faith And we burn and kill Consuming at will There's no turning back now, this is what we built I don't want to die like this No martyrs or honour The hope that died, a soul slaughtered And if you wrap the fucking noose around my neck I'll jump and pray I hear the snap ringing in the back of my head Father A giant Consume us all and leave nothing Life or fire One mind, devastator We're filth and pain, a blackened stain I welcome the end as I'm wasting away I've become a phantom An apparition dismantled I am alone, I am fractured as light becomes Shadows shift as we're swallowed in a black hole Rise The enemy that I am We formed a staple of misery The final drain on all humanity A soul I'm feeling is departing me What could I do? They made me do it I've become a phantom An apparition dismantled I am alone, I am fractured as light becomes Shadows shift as we're swallowed in a black hole Rise The enemy that I am Phantom An apparition dismantled I am alone, I am fractured and I'll become Shadows shift as we're swallowed in a black hole Rise The enemy that I am The enemy that I am The enemy that I am I'm so sick of this endless torment And I'm so tired of being tired I can feel you scratching at my skin Yōkai I'm still subjected to a gnawing at my sanity It's been my only consistency in reality But now the cracks are showing There's just no way of knowing A growing pain that remains as long as I'll allow Fuck it kill me now Sent below Finally free from this horror This nightmare

I remember now The sound as our worlds collide A bridging to the other side I pray for a moment, the world stops revolving We could be frozen in time A new ending to fall into The forgetting of all we knew I'd walk through hell to find truth I tried to find faith in your eyes In a night, I can’t rewind My warped reflection A paradox To love without loss Without loss So what are we here for Another heartbreak for the chalkboard I'm not falling in line Now my vision has realigned What werе we made for? Wandering tormеnt Shift the paradigm I tried to find faith in your eyes In a night, I can't rewind I will resign To be defined In the parts I give away My warped reflection A paradox To love without loss Without loss I tried to find faith in your eyes In a night we can’t reach To embrace where we see chaos To forgive where we find no fault In our loss we have learned so much Find ourselves in the parts we give away To embrace where we see chaos To forgive where we find no fault In our loss, we have learned so much Find ourselves in the parts we give away In the parts we give away In the parts we give away
