It Only Gets Darker

Those fragile bridges and castles deep in your mind; Burn them all down Those fragile faces of monsters you leave behind; Burn them all I'll suffer in my head until I feel it Walking toward the light, I see no reason Onto the flame; a weapon of loss Designed to carve out our fate Encaged, enslaved I'll never ride the wings of failure I now surrender myself Deep down, I fear that it only gets darker out here Those fragile bridgеs and castles deep in your mind; Burn them all down Those fragilе faces of monsters you leave behind; Burn them all Slam my head on the wall until I can feel the fear One prevailing thought Is how I can walk out with answers To our bonded fate? Does it fill you with shame That you're no longer my gospel? When every break is a shade of grey How can you tell who sees? You betrayed my reality When you walked away, when you walked away I've replayed every memory It's always you that's looking down at me What's the difference anymore? All vision, no faith It's too much, too late And now I feel it singeing me Onto the flame; a weapon of loss Designed to carve out our fate Encaged, enslaved I'll never ride the wings of failure I now surrender myself Deep down, I fear that it only gets darker out here I now surrender myself Deep down, I fear that it only gets darker out here Liberation's lies Isolation's cost Engulfed in the looming fog Infected with hatred And all over feeling lost And all over feeling lost
