In this shallow pool of lies
Locked in war forever
Striving to be lord of flies
The place I once called home I struggle now to recognize
A world in monochrome, all colors fading
Hopeful minds and starry eyes
Snuffed out in the mire
Sabotaged by their own pride
Thousands of faces are forgotten in a swirling haze
The lives we’ve dedicated, all for nothing
Fateful inferno that burned so bright
Has all but vanished in this cold night
Fall
Fickle and fleeting
Desperate for meaning
Do you see me now?
If all my heroes become villains, what the fuck am I?
Do you see me now?
Doomed to be lost in obscurity if I don’t comply
Crawl through an endless void
I’ve been clawing and climbing and trying and lying to myself
Justifying becomes futile when there’s no silver lining
Fateful inferno that burned so bright
Has all but vanished in this cold night
Shattered illusions through weary eyes
I can’t remember why I still fight
Time is tearing my whole world apart
And to think that we all used to call this art
Losing myself
I’m floating forever
Between the clouds
Spiral into the nether
Desecrate me
Settle wrath and plunge into the unknown
Salvage what’s the left
When I turn into the void
Into the abyss
That I’m left in here with
I am facing the wrath turn to the cold
Enter salvation
They have waited
Anticipation
As it grows inside me
I learn to love the feeling
Oh, I never felt so alive
It’s holding the absence of dread in my mind
