Before the Night Takes UsLets run away
Leave it all behind
The Smokes too thick to breathe
Resist the urge of giving in
Bury the past beneath our dreams
Disconnect the lifeline
Suffocate pretentious waste
Belay My JudgementIt seems a lifetime since
Feeling alive like once before
Determining I will forever suffer,
Condemned to walk the earth,
Devoid of that which matters most,
Undeserving of the warmth of another.
Release me now,
Farewell The FavoredFrom it's origin
The bond we set
Seemed never failing
Yet paralleled truths
Would shadow my dreams
With a dormant evil unrestrained
Still trusting nature
Ghost of GrandeurThe time has come again like clockwork
As swiftly the manifest arises
So too does it flee
Preying upon constitution
Free will to recognize the tyrant
Blinding my need for self preservation
Unknown to the wretched perpetrator
May Silence Keep YouIt comes from deep within
So swiftly without warning
A place that no one speaks of
Cares not for what's at stake
The beast tears into walls of the soul
Incessantly
Then breaks loose
SeasonsWhat is this place? Seems all to familiar
So foreign, yet so recognizable
A road long since traveled
That state of reckless abandon
Unguarded, unassured
Been down this road before
Can't take this feeling anymore
Song For The HopelessToday's a day for retribution,
This all ends here.
Now is the time to commit to the changes
That are needed to survive.
Look around and see what's missing,
Nothing's as it used to be,
Smoldering beneath the wreckage
The Ardent OptimistSince infancy a void
Has plagued my existence
Attempts to disregard such anguish
Only magnified the hollowness
So many years
Have came and went
Without a single trace of you
The Sun SetsCan you feel this
Pervading through
Unveil the light
Illuminate
May I wisely
Appropriate
Seek the truth
Tipping the ScalesHere is a message
For all who seek to take advantage
Of kindness gravely mistaken for weakness
Things are not always as they seem
Take nothing for granted
[chorus]
Be mindful and restrain
TrialsBoiling water scorch my head
Falsely convinced I am dead
Forcing forth a watery grave
Breathing none no safe haven
No safe haven for me
Asinine tribulations
Dramatize stipulations
Contrary accusations
