Give me
Give me something real
That doesn't sing for praise,
Doesn't have to fight
For validation's sake

Wake up

I take offense at my culture
Critics and concubines of fame
I see such disillusionment on display
But what if they could see
The life you hide away?
Would you apologize for what you've
Become?

Your obsession with yourself
Began to hollow out
Your life
Your pride
Shatters around you now
To expose all you hide

This is all i have

No life
No pride
There is nothing left

Your life
Your pride
Shatters around you
To expose all you hide

She's comatose in memory
Violent and cunning with deceit
This winter never turned to spring
All i hear are footsteps
As you walk away

And i hear your footsteps
As you walk away

These limbs have grown so bare
In the coldest winter of our given time
Time's ticking down,
And you were never meant to be here
Running towards the fire,
Feeding on the flames
No one's here to guide you
As creation blooms before your eyes

Glory
Lost to thoughts of apathy
Shadows fill the void
Where memories recede,
As your light goes out

Some were meant to fight
Some were meant to die


You will let your life flicker out
Let it fade,
Let it fade away

Time is
Time is running out
Let the ghost of revelled youth
Cling to you like shadows
Chasing light

Lost
Weak with tired eyes
I am staring at light
The shadow of the Sun,
Rising red
I am able to see

Better than,
It's better than
All that you could have imagined
Eyes closed, still see
Images of light
Can't forget what you are

Fall on your knees
Your misery's welcome

Bow your head
Crawling on desperate,
Shaking hands
And pray that they don't see
Your fall from grace
Scouring the gutters
To find your worth,
But you'll never find it

"Father,
I'm on my knees
Begging, begging
Turn your head,
Look away"

Turn your head and look away

"Father,
I am here
Begging
Turn your head and look away"

Solace
Lost and left to fade
We are falling

I am falling apart
From the apathy of our kind
An abortion of our heart
They will tear apart
As we remain numb
So much has been corrupted by the
Liars and the thieves

Liar, bastard, judging us
As we succumb to our disease
Liar, bastard, judging us
We are left here without the cure

As i fall apart
All is going dark
As i fall apart

I must see,
I must feel
All i fight for,
Left inside

All i see,
All i feel
I'll still fight for
What's inside my heart

We were the sons
We were the daughters
That must consume
As we have no choice
To give up our life
To a window made of light
We're lost

Liars,
Bastards,
Thieves of man

We are falling

Witness
The Sun that sets
I felt a sickness
Grasping from beneath

Do not be afraid
Just pour your sorrow into the sea
It's written in the waves

I can feel
The way life ends
An ocean of sunlit swells
Drags us through the cold

Dusk can set
The darkness sets in
An ocean of sunlit swells
Drags us through the cold

Sunrise sinks above us...

As sunlight begins to sink,
Home has become
A place just out of reach

Our home has become
As broken as us

Home has become
A dream we awoke from

Callous always builds from pain
Shelter only protects from the rain

Give me a reason,
Give me a reason not to fail
I'm trying to claw my way up
From despair

If i drown
Trying to come up for air,
Tell them i fought
But only made it halfway there

Hollowed out
From within
Breach the surface,
Drowning me

All around,
Something calls
Follow it down again

I cannot give in
This is treason
This is not how we're meant to live

I've let a snake's venom
Course through me
I've lost myself,
I've done so willingly
What have i become?

Let me in,
Let me guide you
I'll protect you from yourself

I'd give my life
For my pride
I'd do anything, for you

It is the voice you hear
Whispering
I'm surrendering
To ghosts inside my head

Our egos become altars
We kneel to each day
To sacrifice who we are,
To live as master and slave

So sing
Sing into the night
Calling out from death
Please, give me back
The spark of life

Lazarus, Lazarus
I am falling faster now
Falling fast from death

I'll surrender like the ghost inside your tomb

Those days were mine
I run to the past
Searching for life to get back
Those days are dead,
Been buried alive

And i can't forget
All that i regret
Those days are dead
They're buried with time

We were left here
We have been forgotten
Why won't you stay?
Why won't you follow me now?
Into the fog
Out of reach, out of sight
We have been forgotten
Those were the days
When i felt nothing

I left all my pain
I gave it away

As the fog clears,
We have been forgotten
And we arise just like the Sun
Into the fog
Freedom
Free from the days
When i felt nothing

Into the eye of the setting Sun
All that we are
Is undone

Dying
Takes away
The feeling i can't
Shake away
Sink

Dying
Takes away
The feeling i can't
Shake away

Light is
Fading away
I'm sinking faster
Slow down
Slow down

Takes away
Light is
Fading away
I'm sinking faster
Slow down
Slow down

Listen
Now you will see
All you destroyed
Nothing survived
And the pain of existence is all that remains

When can i see the world with youth in my eyes again?
Am i wishing for days passed that will never come?

So lie to me,
And tell me that i'll be okay
Tell me that i will be okay
That this pain of existing
Sheds away
Please, tell me this pain
Sheds away

So whisper the comforts that eaze the pain
I walk next to shadows that will never leave
And i let this gasoline baptize our home
Striking the match
Anointed by none

Let's burn down this house,
Set it aflame
For this place was broken
Long before you came

Now you will see
As i depart
