Senseless casualties stacked Propped up walls collapse As carelessly as they are built Doomed to fail Absolute power corrupts Sift through the fallout For pride For ego For humanity No redemption for the past Boots charred from bridges burnt The burden better left behind Dragging you down Imposed fallacies Hand of the thief clutching its power Reckless limits breed Emptiness in the word of cowards Absolute power corrupts Sift through the fallout For pride For ego For humanity

Perpetual indignation Fabricated in a failing mind Hope evaporates as soon as it's given fire Internal parasite feeds off of negativity Pulls apart logic and perspective Drains the host The atrophy of will

Peel the skin back Conceit shedding Real humanity drips to the floor Exposed flaws bleed away Separation of ego and shell An altered bond may produce chaos Hope is in the reaction Our present soon may be the past Just as quickly as we let go

Time becoming an absurdity Warped, bending to obstacles at whim Only an arm’s length away I feel I’ve been here before Behind me the road is collapsing With weariness, the horizon is ahead Chasing with urgency The desire to stand At the foot of an old horizon

Gathering effects Planning escape with tense precision Under the cloak of dawn From the slightest sound the world can erupt From the softest step the beast may rise Beyond the great door Degradation is replaced with unbridled relief Every herculean effort led to misery The rumored death of Atlas devoured all hope Endless trials prove pointless endeavors Not even the world is worth any of this Sever the ties, leaving the burden In a cold instant become nothing Disappear Savior, thy name is silence

Carry me across I've weathered this storm long enough There is still strength to stand, will to carry on But how long 'til the well runs dry Wake me up from this misery That I may rest my eyes

Too much right away An unexpected onslaught, an avalanche of turmoil What was once so exciting and innocent now suffocates my desire Time and time again I play the fool But still I care, still I try Again misunderstood Waiting, holding on No reprieve My intent is pure yet I exist to suffer There is no atonement

Display your apathy over your heart Derive meaning There is purpose in death Failure is all that's left When life is without challenge Standing proud Begging for glorious death A final triumph to signal the end The thrill burning out like an aging star Stretching limits beyond morality Clutch your paper god Plead to that gaping void Pry from its frail hand its grudging heart Was their death so necessary?

I find myself in a dark empty house Alone The smell of cut grass Pale yellow sun A jaundiced eye peering through bars of trees Lying here Line of fire Lodged in the intercostal It hurts I know Our father's touch Right here An old man's hand over a child's heart Weak Soft Protecting nothing I can smell it on you Those moments that live in your chest
