Despondency 06:24
These shadows grow faster than I can tell Dismissed fears contort as misfigured dreams If I can never know how can I change them Close my eyes, countdown, and pretend it’s all fine How can they not understand They won't stop till they reprimand I'm just alone in their eyes But it's different in my mind Only myself is left to betray Though shadows have followed from my grave Warm and kind touch turns to cold restraints Broken walls won't protect when they see right through you Confess, why do you stare through me? Maybe it’s the padded walls they see? Someone please say this isn't right. These shadows that are all of my dread Don’t tell me that they're all in my head Outside and blurred our scholar eyes pry As a shattered man screams a lie How can they never see All the spectres that are haunting me I'm just alone in their eyes But it's different in my mind You can't pass judgment on how my life is spent With no hope of regress, ignorance Controls all of the mistreatments I feel the white fog start to grip my throat Strapped down, the needle it starts to reload Again the phantoms pull me back into their hold Dark shadows in the night Ask for me, there is no flight My fight has all left I fear Me the envoy a blinded seer I will fight, cry, beg, and plead Hoping they'll see what I see This unfit stage of tattered souls Takes root, and I start to lose hold Soft voices tell me to hush And slowly I can feel the rush A dark sleep comes from within As needles work into the skin

Forever searched for a purpose With time so pointless Well give me something to believe So I have some control Cut in at all the right times Just to watch me pour out slow Watch this blood dry to your scribe And you’ll see how much I’m worth Crawl from start again my friend Show me where I might lean in I can piece together any ends If you’ll suffer for his sins A whisper in my ear He knew I’d come here Now just take me away Denial cloaked in your name Let lie where she falls A face you can’t recall Wash me up on your shore Still rotting to the core Promise if I take you in Let him start new again A shadow of my failing lies Keep true if it’s what you see But “never was” and “has beens” Are mislabeled commodities Eyes with devious movements Disarm your arrogance But let me save it for the end When photos are the foe With nothing left to salvage Let me be the one that can save Say those words I want to hear You will go together to your grave Hearts lead a guiltless crime Die together this time Eyes of your haunting face See your trust is misplaced You can only be betrayed By those in truth you mislayed Take in this cleansing of sins Now you're truly condemned Your innocence rebuilt Truths buried with my guilt Take in one final breath I will smile for you in death A whisper in my ear He knew I’d come here But if you'll take me away I'll cloak denial in your name He whispered in my ear There's no way from here No chance to take me away Denial cloaked in your name Let lies where he falls A face you can’t recall No semblance of a shore Still rotting to the core Now that I took you in We can start new again

Shots Go Off 05:44
Looking in the eyes of fate You will see why you are too late This wall divides a promise made But no matter what It’s you I can't save If you take one last look and see Just remember the blame it falls on me The truths we still can't let go Now turn to painful memories Far away the fires draw closer Though light shines in and takes my fear A shot goes off inside of me And it echoes from what You used to be Tear down what’s built inside And still hoping that you'll find I'm still sewn to you All those years that I was true But still my heart, it dies right next to you Hoping you crack with pressure When the mirror points at me As we draw closer to final words I feel convictions start to blur When all the truths we fought through Now turn to our hysteria Though I feel a warmth shine in I see the shadows claw for you Nothing left for you to define Just you and your empty lines Broken hearts And poisoned minds, yeah

I held on to you as long as I could Though this deal played out how he knew it would So blinded by my love I was running Familiar hands choke hope that's coming Look into the grave built inside his head The facade so real the sickness takes form again Lay down your own mind One love that won’t die Last prayer, the last lie This curse, always mine Ice cold rejection clouds the Deceit with its pure perfections You won’t soon forget her As she cries out from her corner Waters rise and take you and me A crooked scale tipped so we cant see Released by time thats meant to bend A pointing finger spells you again Change the puzzle so the pieces will fall into the ending you built for us all A gift and power to usurp it A paradise and its false serpent Look into the grave built inside his head Now the waters add one more to its dead Ice cold rejection clouds the Deceit with its pure perfections You won't soon forget her As she dies inside your corner Dragged down I let out my last breath An embrace with the smile of death No heaven written on your face No fires written on my tomb

Li(f)e 07:00
Call upon some sort of name to save No faith with the deity of lies Take me back to the day where Truth was more than a shadow and a veil Endless wisdom with guilty intention Trapped them all in an endless regression Pages rule this livestock complacency Inscribing hope with false prosperity Discard all reason And stir the silence of the lifeless In an endless race for last She gambles on a misled past And every chance for salvation Was always damnation Live for yourself and burn in time Redemptions in the words only meant to bind Silent sermons and an ironic paradise Falling ideals to justify will and vice Deals with the devil bring no solace in death Eyes fixed on the innocent with every breath No master is guilty of there marionettes As the saints inscribe how your life is set Envisioning the dreams of every child Even in heaven there is no friendly smile Live on the edge of confession and the narrow road for redemption It’s easy to bow at shrines of lies When it’s all you have left of life Heaven never spoke through a mouthpiece Now feel the pain of a false laid tragedy A force that was an alter to ourselves Left the famished chained to their own The two voices in your head Were always the suppressed verdict Bound by the comfort of hopelessness The faceless remain forever the faithlessAlone It’s hard to stumble when you’re on your knees Though no trial prepares for this fixed end
