lyrics

Awake in a nightmare,
Facing the cold reflections on the walls,
No bridges left to burn
Everything must pass through the fire,
(Traitors and liars with their tongues on the trigger like razor blades,
Surgically cutting out my soul and I don't even know if it's left anymore)
My demons are just a little stronger than me today,
Is this where divine minds wander in their sleep?

Lift up your face to the perpetual desolations,
Look in the eyes of your soul and take a deep breath as you ask for more,
These walls that crumble around you in serenity,
Detached from the manic inside and separate walls from distractions that pull you in.

We quietly slip into madness and observe the past like pages of books we read.

A question consuming the fibers of my heart,
Uncertainty reeling the doubt in my mind,
Stretched across a chasm and on into the void,
The echoes decaying before the lips of form,

The colors cleaned and wiped away to tell the story of the fates,
Another version of the truth is slowly being whisked away,
Carved into an effigy and angled just away from me,
Silhouettes on cavern walls that tell the stories of these halls.

Pull me through
(The upside down)
Parallels
(My own mind)
Draw me in
(Bring me home)
End this hell
(Set me down)
