It comes to fracture vested trust A love to shatter and turn to rust I drag my name through waves to wade black water Wallow and drown A new shade of gray disorients the portrait Repetitive contusions concuss the allure Cataract eyes and cloudy minds Interrupt a perfect design Crashing waves come to swallow us Wallow and drown in it Shadows wait to devour us It hurts to surrender Presentation's everything when you created the play The audience hypnotized by the imagery In this vicious cycle of disbelief That the visionless cannot conceive You can drag me down six feet deep So I can fight for a life that I threw away In this moment of resurgence Clear the dissonance and recover me Fears suppressed exploit our lust And our memories turn to rust And when we reach that point, barren of things to say There's nothing left to save, do not resuscitate Swallow your pride, hide what you feel inside There are some things that cannot be rectified Crashing waves come to swallow us Wallow and drown in it Shadows wait to devour us It hurts to surrender Leeches lie in wait, but you're blind to it But you're blind to it A void that you create, you give life to it It hurts to surrender It comes to fracture vested trust A love to shatter and turn to rust If words could carry my pain Through the busy streets and empty alleyways Be the one who hears my cry Like the moon who craves the night You can drag me down six feet deep So I can fight for a life that I threw away In this moment of resurgence Clear the dissonance and recover me

Faith we abate, a perfect design of which we deprecate We can't decipher this suppressive surge of desire As I watch the hands of time cradle circumstance and consequence I reiterate that the hourglass is near its end and depleting swiftly Trace the edge along this line we drew within this narrow space Memories I can't recreate Wreckage beyond what we could calculate An affection that fluctuates Familiar speech in a new tongue that I cannot translate Who's to say that our faith was kept in a safe place? As we witness a weaker pulse and shallow breaths, the innocent fight To take their life back, no surrender of light from their eyes Perpetrator, give back what's not yours to keep Stolen destinations of contingency, ripped apart and vanishing Memories I can't recreate Wreckage beyond what we could calculate An affection that fluctuates Familiar speech in a new tongue that I cannot translate These wandering eyes provide confirmation of idle actions Holding keys to open doors, we're too afraid to enter We scrutinize, but execution falls short Disgust for lack of action Cover your face with your hands and look away Memories I can't recreate Wreckage beyond what we could calculate An affection that fluctuates Familiar speech in a new tongue Memories I can't recreate Wreckage beyond what we could calculate An affection that fluctuates Familiar speech in a new tongue that I cannot translate Perpetrator, give back what's not yours to keep

Metamorphosis; what am I becoming Liable; or a victim of circumstance? Bending disorder to appease my own defense This bond could not be conceived without affection and faith to believe It was all meant to endure the worst of things Cast aside your doubts and destructive thoughts I know that I can finally be enough The signal fire is flickering Breaths start to cease, and I wonder If she calls my name out from the edge of the sea Tones of crimson gleam to fill the space between The animation in my arteries Cruel impermanence; the weight of the unknown Has stricken me with a feeling of turbulence Holding out for a softer consequence Stand true; we are absolute Doubt breathes through blushing leaves Eradicated with my will to be Convoluted ideas and emotions That make their home in me, weigh me down They make their home in me Drifting away into the comfort of false safety The signal fire is flickering Breaths start to cease, and I wonder If she calls my name out from the edge of the sea Move in sync with passage of light Through my fingertips Aligned on each notch of my spine Where shivers won't dare resist The signal fire is flickering Breaths start to cease, and I wonder If she calls my name out from the edge of the sea

Shed your skin, days on years Punished by pressured time When underneath, you're balancing All this hate and selfless misconception What once was full is just the husk Of a deceived creature of habits Black ink can't pierce this deep By your side, I watched the birds of prey Bind the skies and hold in wait We cannot mend what is sealed by fate No future, contentment with complacency Absorbing disappointment, bite the hand that feeds I gave up everything to make you feel complete Drenched in cold sweat from lost comfort of safety You resonate with hatred My pulse is racing in my chest I lie awake to imagine pathways of escape as they disappear All these words mean nothing if we fall face first (if we fall face first) From running away from something that we saw coming Embrace this sunset as cloak and dagger for you to cower Hidden by shadows, with filthy nails of gripping cowards Shed your skin Refuse to be loved by yourself to grow free from villainous vines Refuse love from anyone else to sever ties that have grown intertwined My failing mind has been oppressed And I lie awake to embrace a pathway of escape Disappear without a trace All these words mean nothing if we fall face first (if we fall face first) From running away from something that we saw coming Rise through the wake Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide Rise through the wake Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide Shed your skin, shed your skin I've always known what's underneath Rise through the wake or be the crashing waves Rise through the wake Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide Rise through the wake Slide Refuse to be loved by yourself to grow free from villainous vines Refuse love from anyone else to sever ties that have grown intertwined

Treading waters poisoned by timeless intoxicants Always knowing that a darkness will find us Scaling walls of imagined boundaries We are the reapers of shame, the successors of pain I could follow you down To the bottom of your solemn state Straining to pull you out Of the trenches that your mind creates Hesitation sits in hindsight of the blind man Cut me open Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly I don't wanna see you suffer forever, forever You are seemingly safe and sound But you carry such a heavy weight A spirit that slowly drowns But the body doesn't translate Bolstering the need to feel accomplished Overshadowed by decisions of finite progress A moment to take my time To let the noise subside Maybe I can finally breathe If I take a step outside myself Maybe I can finally breathe easy Cut me a box to size, yeah Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly I don't wanna see you suffer forever, forever Plagued by thoughts of self-defeat Ghost of nothing A ghost of a nothing An anchor for all suffering Won't you follow tonight I don't wanna see you suffer Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly I don't wanna see you suffer, suffer forever, forever Won't you follow tonight, just breathe in slowly I don't wanna see you suffer, suffer forever, forever I don't wanna see you A ghost of a nothing An anchor for all suffering

Give in to the pressure of the sound Of the voices saying step down Beast of glutton, the embodiment of greed Exploiting the weak by fabricating their needs The wolf kicked in the door, intruded in your home And you see it as a privilege to be consumed Give in to the pressure of the sound Of the voices saying step down Tell us something that resembles truth You pitiful bastard in clearest sight The wolf was never hiding You told yourself sweet nothings, and now your only truth is lying Bulbous parasite; expanding from the blood of the ignorant The worm is robbing our ability to communicate I saw him laugh in your face, why aren't you irate? Scrub away the stain Leech their energy Give in to the pressure of the sound Of the voices saying step down Tell us something that resembles truth You pitiful bastard in clearest sight Give in to the pressure of the sound Of the voices saying step down Tell us something that resembles truth You pitiful bastard in clearest sight The people's king; a virtuoso of trophy lust and adolescent behavior An old fool convinced you he's your savior Chaos is the grain on which the bastards feed Bringing down the rain, they drown the land in greed Scrub away the stain, leech their energy Tell us something that resembles truth, just walk away

The miles I've traveled now seem like withered time Fixated on the rear view when I can't see ahead For me to view a reflection without corruption So a past won't dictate a present Months pass, sitting still, thinking in this box Where my thoughts are not friendly nor hopeful This weak mind and body crumble Who we were will never be the same We'll never relive the feeling Love we made, we let it slip away And I just can't face it I can feel it coming on living inside Calling me right back to you My regret meets no resistance And I endorse this torment to feel If you exhaust a heart of love Is the pumping of blood still enough? Do the limbs go numb? Who we were will never be the same We'll never relive the feeling Love we made, we let it slip away And I just can't face it Who we were will never be the same We'll never relive the feeling Love we made, we let it slip away And I just can't face it My fictional friend, conducting me piece by piece I feel your cold blank stare cast on me I don't ask to be mended Just understand my words and hear me out All the passion has faded All the fire has burned out How could I see it coming? This electrifying high that we would grow to resent I can feel it coming on living inside Calling me right back to you

Aiming soft steps along each brick To give respect in the places unfit It's not a waste to him, but all he knows Avoiding all the conflict to seek some repose Thinking back on his father's words To try and mend the cracks at the seams Stand your ground and speak your mind A unity he can't emphasize Hard rain falls without consulting the flood A tear hits the cheek of a heartless man Counting the minutes as you lose control This love goes unreceived, marked "return to sender" Feeling it all around me Watching the clouds roll over Fall into place; trust in the outcome Walk along the path of least resistance Set your feet to paths for you to wander and never feel alone Questioning the option to surrender, embracing the unknown on your own Walk alone or lead the pack on your own There's no difference in numbers If you see nothing with eyes wide open Remembering moments being led astray The howling voices looming close behind Reaching for a piece to steal away Close your doors even if the rooms are vacant Set your feet to paths for you to wander and never feel alone Questioning the option to surrender, embracing the unknown Setting all the clocks to prior hours to stagger fleeting time Saving all the love you can remember, remember Thinking back on his father's words To try and mend the cracks at the seams Stand your ground and speak your mind A unity he can't emphasize

Terror creeps like a hurricane Oppressing the seas, trying to sink my vessel Powerless to the crippling wake Pull me in and destroy my faith With my liquid lungs, I can breathe Free of broken memories that keep holding on Contemplating love you spent only to feel alone I feel alone Love you spent only to feel alone Still holding on A hollow heart holds no peace Can we forgive and forget, receive and protect When we carry our prisons in our heads? Carve my legacy into the stone For my light can only burn so long But before I go, my brimstone bones Will smolder all my fears of the unknown Free of broken memories that keep holding on Contemplating love you spent only to feel alone I feel alone Love you spent only to feel alone And no strength to let it go In my wishing well, where all my words turn to stone Speak to me through grit teeth; a broken soul And a heart that wants to take control Who's to say whether we should drift? I can feel you slipping away Shadows unfamiliar to me Dance around the walls of the most familiar places Now I've become a stranger in my own home I'd fall asleep with you next to me, now every day I wake alone Shadows of strangers compose themselves reluctantly How can you confront your fears when they stand back to back? Trust in a disconnect to make the pieces fit, oh Shadows of strangers Shadows of strangers Hope you left behind Home is undefined Hope you left behind Home is undefined
