And in the rising suns’ light,
Well, I have seen you there.
Oh, and in the setting suns’ night,
I’ll watch you disappear.
The deepest sea I’ve ever wandered.
The brightest light I’ve ever found.
We’re dancing on the edge of sonder.
The crack of fire is the only sound.
I close my eyes
To see,
What you have left
For me.
What I will take
From you.
Is this the choice
That I will put you through?
Is this for me or you?
Whose right to say, that it’s win or lose?
Who says that we have to choose?
Who am I to say that you can’t refuse?
Now I’m lost in your eyes now.
And your words echo in my ears.
Will you be here if it burns out?
And if you go could you take my fear?
I tried
To see what’s right.
I’ll give in if
You decide.
Will I put you through this?
The only one with
Something left to lose.
Oh, and I can hear the songs now.
I hear the pain,
I hear the songs of life.
Oh, and I can see the sun now.
I feel the heat from when it burns out and dies.
And in the rising suns’ light,
Well, I have seen you there.
And in the setting suns’ night,
I’ll watch you disappear.
I close my eyes
To see,
What you have left
For me.
What I could take
From you.
What I will put you through.
And I tried
To see what’s right.
And I’ll give in if
You decide.
Will I put you through this?
The only one with
Something left to lose.
I closed my eyes
To see,
Something,
When it’s just empty.
What I might take
From you.
Is this the choice
That I will put us through?
Now I’m lost in your eyes now.
The only sound is
Your voice in my ears.
Will you please stay
When it burns out?
And if you go
Will you take me there?
I’ll try
To make this right.
I’ll give it all,
If even just the night.
What’s left to prove and
It’s up to us what we have
Left to lose.

Weak, I wept.
Soft, I slept.
And I’m so confused.
The match is lit, so light the fuse.
Already lost in the fire.
So burn it down
While I’m lost in desire.
The fire burns and
Now the smoke is in my lungs.
You lit the match,
You ignited the fuse.
Now it can’t be extinguished,
No, it won’t be refused.
And I can’t escape it.
Not even in my sleep.
It won’t relinquish.
No, the fire is in my dreams.
When I close my eyes.
I hear the flames.
When I just wake up.
The fire calls my name.
I cannot fake it.
I know I cannot lie.
I can’t forsake it.
I know it won’t be denied.
Everyday without relent.
I know it’s wrong but I can’t repent.
Everyday that the fire burns.
There’s something more,
Something left to learn.
The fire burns and now
The smoke is in my lungs.
I breathe it in.
I let it win.
Not ‘cus I’m weak,
But ‘cus I’m innocent.
I believe what the fires told me.
I believe what you have shown me.
Burn me alive.
Ignite new life.
Take me to the end,
And bathe me in the light.
Weak, I wept.
Soft, I slept.
Burn me alive.
And I can’t escape it.
Not even in my sleep.
It won’t relinquish.
No, the fire is in my dreams.
When I close my eyes.
I hear the flames.
When I just wake up.
The fire calls my name.
And I can’t escape it.
Not even in my sleep.
It won’t relinquish.
No, the fire is inside me.
So weak, I wept.
So soft, I slept.
Burn me alive and
Watch me burn.
Burn me alive and
Watch me burn.
There’s something left,
There’s something more to learn.
Just burn it down.

I saw eternity the other night
Bright fires, scar white in the absent light,
They heave and spin towards the jagged edge, inside the broken kingdom, inside of broken men.
We slip down surfaces; unpaved and undefined, to try and find what purpose is.
Plastic light, trapped in finite, Silence so loud, it’s deafening.
Cobalt blue staining every dream.
With shadows moving by our side,
Lost in awe with our eyes so wide.
As if to blink would lose it all.
Behind closed eyes, you hear the call.
Silence so loud, it’s deafening.
Cobalt blue staining every dream.
When shadows show,
We’ll hide inside,
The faintest glow of toxic light.
Time, once we called you “enemy”
Life, now defined as "apathy"
The infinite, described as war.
The begging hand, held out for more.
Long For More.
Paralyzed
You left us
In the night.
Falling in circles
(Of) Black and white.
We sought to prove ourselves as martyrs now.
We sought to save ourselves like we knew how.
In cycles, in waves.
The shadows grow everyday.
Circadian ebb and flow.
The prison of "mortal" soul.
In Cycles,
We devolve.
We resolve,
now we see all.
The shadows,
we'll call home.
We'll make whole,
and try it all again.
Silence so loud, it’s deafening.
Cobalt blue staining every dream.
When shadows show,
We’ll hide inside,
The faintest glow of toxic light.
Time, once we called you “enemy”
Life, now defined as "apathy"
The infinite, described as war.
The begging hand, held out for more.
In cycles, in waves,
the shadows grow.
Witness the ebb and flow.
I'll witness the end.
We will not be broken yet.
Broken Yet.
Eternity.

In your eyes,
I see my whole life
Golden light,
I feel the darkness die
I only feel real when I’m in your eyes
Now THAT I’ve seen it.
I CAN’T believe that
I’m the type who’d choose to crawl.
Or just give up after I fall.
Now that I’ve found you,
Shadows surround you.
I’ve never been the type to change,
Will you stay, go down in flames?
Peer inside, explore my mind.
Stay, confide,
Always on your side.
And I want to stay here,
Hold onto faith, not fear.
Patient.
Faced with,
Fear of my own pace.
And memories of my mistakes.
And watching everything I’ve built,
Go down in flames.
In your eyes, I see my whole life.
Here tonight,
Only love resides.
And I want to stay here,
With you it’s so clear.
With you I feel safe, and
With you is where I’ll stay and
I could die in your eyes.
Now THAT I’ve seen it.
I CAN’T believe that
I’m the type who’d choose to crawl.
Or just give up after I fall.
Now that I’ve found you,
Shadows surround you.
I’ve never been the type to change,
Will you stay, go down in flames?
In your eyes,
Fire thrives.
Showered in golden light,
Darkness dies,
And light arrives.
Peer inside.
Explore my mind.
Everything around us fades,
There’s only now, where love remains.
In your eyes, I can see my whole life.
Here tonight,
Where only love resides.
And I want to stay here,
With you it’s so clear.
With you I feel safe, and
With you is where I’ll stay
Forever now.

I feel it.
Revealed and
It’s teeth enter into my skin.
I push it back, but I can’t resist.
Indulged in the darkness.
The light took for granted.
The demons will laugh and
The angels will try,
To light,
The path you will find.
I’ve said it before, I’ll repeat till it’s mine.
I’ve drowned in darkness,
To swim in light.
I will bathe in hatred,
To tell wrong from right.
So we’ll stay on the
Ground.
And told,
“The lost can’t be found.
They can’t be forgiven.
They can’t be allowed,
To find, the light.
The wrong and the right.
Don’t give them the option,
Don’t let them decide.”
Indulged in the darkness.
The light took for granted.
The demons will laugh and
The angels will try,
To light,
The path you will find.
I’ve said it before, I’ll repeat till it’s mine.
I’ve drowned in darkness,
To swim in light.
I will bathe in hatred,
To tell wrong from right.
So we’ll stay on the ground.
“The lost can’t be found.
They can’t be forgiven.
They can’t be allowed,
To find, the light.
The wrong and the right.
Don’t give them the option,
Don’t let them decide.”
In the palm,
The evil resolves.
“They can not be trusted.
They can not evolve.”
They will not believe,
Receive,
The faith we will need.
We could conquer the demons
And topple the thieves.
The reason,
That we could beat them,
Is that together we could sever
The defeated,
And the beaten
Could all see then,
The potential of the power
Inside us all.
Indulged in the darkness.
The light took for granted.
The demons will laugh and
The angels will try,
To light,
The path you will find.
I’ve said it before, I’ll repeat till it’s mine.
I’ve drowned in darkness,
To swim in light.
I will bathe in hatred,
To tell wrong from right.
I’ve drowned in the darkness,
I’ll swim in the light.
I’ll bathe in the hatred,
I’ll tell wrong from right.
The demons sing sweet,
But I will sing louder.
The fire consumes, but I hold all the power.
So we stay on the ground.

Inertia

The sun will rise and fall.
I built a home, in the eye of the storm.
I made my bed, in the heart of war.
And now I’ve paved my path,
And there’s no turning back.
There’s no first if there is no last.
Watching movies in my sleep.
Is this a dream or reality?
The future is my past,
And my history lives in you and me.
The remnant of a fantasy,
I left behind when the truth came cascading.
And the coincidence of my confidence, somehow I called to you, but maybe
Somehow I always knew.
That it could be you, and when,
I looked into your eyes,
I felt the light arrive.
And gravity subside,
And I knew what I saw,
All remained, inertia.
The sun will rise and fall.
And I can see,
The true meaning.
And this could be,
The feeling of healing we need.
Wake me to watch the sunrise.
But I can’t open my eyes.
We stayed up far too late,
I had too much to drink.
But you know I’ll try my best.
And we awoke to fireworks.
My body sore from the sunburn.
Afterwards we caught the train,
And with a tinge of pain,
You said you couldn’t stay.
I looked into your eyes,
I felt the dark arrive.
And gravity subside,
And I knew what I saw,
All remained, inertia.
I built a home, in the eye of the storm.
I made my bed, in the heart of war.
I built a home, in the eye of the storm.
I made my bed, in the heart of war.
I’ve paved my path,
And there’s no turning back.
There is no first,
If I decide there’s no last.
And I can see,
The true meaning.
And this could be,
The feeling of healing we need.
The sun will rise and fall.
And I knew what I saw,
All remains,
Inertia.

Tear me apart.
Tear me apart.
End to the start.
Start of the end.
Loss of a friend,
But could you bear to lose me?
Tell me again.
Can’t comprehend,
I’m scared of losing my grip.
Just one push, I might slip.
If One day,
You said the same,
Would I fade away?
Still so scared of what you could say.
I count the days till I see your face.
I’m still doubting.
What if loves just clouding,
Your judgment and you’ll leave.
And take the light you’ve shown me.
I’m sorry but I can’t shake,
The feeling that the day is coming.
That you wake up and regret me.
So I’m sorry but I’m still afraid.
But I can’t,
Shake the feeling.
That your light may some day
Leave me.
And I can’t,
Bare the thought that I would
Learn to love again.
I can’t begin,
To even think to let it in
Don’t let it in
Don’t wanna see
This isn’t me
I’m still doubting.
What if loves just clouding,
Your judgment and you’ll leave.
And take the light you’ve shown me.
I’m sorry but I can’t shake,
The feeling that the day is coming.
That you wake up and regret me.
So I’m sorry but I’m still afraid.
I am nothing but grief
And the reapers a thief
He took all of my loved ones and
Now he’s waiting for me
There’s a light in this tunnel
But I won’t let it win
Cus’ I’m afraid of what it means
If I can’t let it in
So if you want it bad enough then
You’ll play through the pain, yeah
You’ll fight past the tears
And they’ll remember your name
I am nothing but grief
And the reapers a thief
He took all of my loved ones and
Now he’s waiting for me
There’s a light in this tunnel
But I won’t let it win
Cus’ I’m afraid of what it means
If I can’t let it in
