Allow me to introduce Your early grave I'll give you a hint, take a guess It's where you stand In this world We've been bound by the words Of the unrighteous ones They seal the fate of the unwilling Yet the unending songs of the vibrant ones Will echo our attempts at fixing the faults With refrains united I've been told that every single one of you is doomed And there is a part of me that wants to agree But there is something more Beneath the shedding skin Within the voice of retribution Raise your voice Don't you ever say We can't move on You're not alone The waters are black But the sail is not torn

Far across the distance I can see a better version of ourselves The destruction we left behind Follow the lines to the horizon Swallow the sorrows and regret those other times With all that is good and pure I reject the former corruption of my soul I know this can't be right So I'll make it right Somewhere in life, innocence becomes a memory And our scars, a testimony Departing the earth, in a senseless fashion What do you think we're worth? Are we part of the passion? This is where it stops I'm done living this selfish lie and Fronting the only way out The disgusting plague has been taking it's toll on me Far across the distance I can see a better version of ourselves

Oh, you should've waited 'til the end You should've watched the time we spent Now you're breathing down my neck Saying "What the heck is going on?" I don't have an answer for you now You shut the door in my face and I want nothing to do with you Can you hear me now? Will you hear me now? or nevermore? I watched the signs and said my lines; A balancing act as the weight of our hearts Gave us a another chance at redemption and suddenly, we're on thin ice? You never cared As if that could not be said enough Well, I've had enough of this Oh my God What are you doing to me? This wasn't part of the plan that we had Don't you see? I'm hurting inside I need refuge from the evil thoughts of my mind I have nothing more to say to you

Congratulations How does it feel to be pushed to the side? I know you've been waiting a long time It's time to take back what's yours The feeling of remorse couldn't hold you back Wouldn't hold you back Now their time is up You've awakened from your sleep And your time to keep your promise has come Now that I've awakened from my sleep I will not rest until I'm dead A drilling solitude Better stay back now, I am a father at heart I'll tear you apart

Curse these dreams that plague my thoughts Once more I'm brought towards the unfamiliar oblivious rage of betrayal A craving for the unforgivable Distorted figures and futures signify the danger of my hauntings Never have I felt so in peril Plagiarizing the Devil's best gifts Bringing out the worst of my morality The hair on the back of my neck shivers As the darkness whispers their false sanctuary for my surrendering soul Such an unforgettable fortress of fearful disdain Was does it take To be the man That everyone calls a hero? The only thing I will lose Will be the only thing I love

Sometimes, I don't want to listen to God The naive intentions of my inner slave Beckon to me and take control Sometimes, I let them take control Make way for the undivided The only ones who can break down those walls We aren't meant to do this alone

I'll wake up when I feel like moving on But for now I remain sleeping My nights consist of a restless longing To see your face This is the only way I can, honestly This idealistic world fuels my patience For a day long awaited Well, I wasn't planning For anything other than The lives we've always lived But it doesn't matter Because now you're gone World's away while I'm just stuck right here Cause you're so far away That I just dream but Still I say, Still I feel You are right here I can feel it I can feel it in my Bones Haunting me, now And forever, and forever No replays, no rewinds If only there was more time I walked the shores Hoping the tide would take us in Then I watched you walk away So am I just a fool For still sitting here? Waiting for you to walk out that door? And though I walked for endless miles I see the bare truth before me now (You're so far away But I still dream) You are right here I can feel it I can feel it in my Bones Haunting me, now And forever, and ever I'm left to wonder The thoughts in my mind Return to the time Of the paradise that felt so empty There was an existence that Kept my heart bound To the hope of relief Are you aware That I meant what I said? Our paths will cross On the road that they're lead to Our eyes shall meet Just like that moment before I lost my balance When my heart hit the floor Not head over heels But I'm definitely sure You had a place in my soul That was left to be mourned

How can I hold on to something That sets me apart from the sane? For way too long, I've been caught up in the act Trying to pull myself back up again. Trying to get away. Cut off my hands because they do me no good My eyes don't deserve the sight I have I crawl in the darkest of places To where you will never see my face again I am that monster I am a monster I've been consumed by the trap of a lifetime But I will escape I crawl in their darkest of places To where you will never see my face again Burn it all down The ashes retain the sickness and guilt I am that monster, I am a monster

Look at the vessel I've bestowed upon you Yet you do not maintain it I can't take it With your fake promises and statements What reward do you receive Prospecting the vice in your own mind? Some of which disgust me entirely Though retreat is not an option, You have stepped back Now step up again Not forsaking all you fought to accomplish Believe in yourself, as I have believed in you I can see that your mind is not gone Infection is the army we are fighting against Wake up the battle has begun! How long will you remain asleep/sleeping? While your brothers fight this war?

We're all connected Through unspoken ashes A fire burns within us all Raging to be what it is A passionate force Tearing its way through the air The desire for a wanting unlimited Breaking the walls of every barrier The gods must be looking down in shame The branches and vines, all in vain We do what we can and the rest is just disaster Until the end comes faster, and faster still Breathing and breeding through life Is there something more?
