lyrics

And I saw the world
In the palm of my hand
I watched their lives
Like grains of sand
I saw the ocean disappear into grey
As I sat I saw the skyline
Echo notions of shame

What’s left to find inside the silence of
Soul
A different part of me waged war on my home

Planets aligned
A sign,
The changing of time

A different part of you
Inhabits my mind

A melody that I had heard before
I followed echos
And they led to a door

A key long held
Since the beginning of all
And in the chaos I could make out
Your call

A memory
I’ll never forget
My uncertainty
Will never relent

And I’ll never be
Who I was before
You have the key
So now just unlock the door

A life, a memory
In the nevermore
I begged to see
And now I can’t feel the floor

A memory
I’ll never regret
My uncertainty
I’ll never repent

Violence
Violence reaches
For you too

Violence,
It seeps inside the smallest
Of scabs

Pollute, intoxicate
Then forget your past

Violence aside,
There’s the thought
You’ll never wake up

So choose, decide
Your side
You live opaque now

You’ll never find the light
You’re gonna break now

Why even try,
You’ll only ever breakdown

Fine
Line

You’ll only be a slave

Don’t
Fight

You know you can’t be saved

My
Mind

You’ll only be consumed

Why
Try

I’m not scared of you

I’ll never be
More than you
More than me
You’ll never be
What you’ve lost
You are free

And I’ll never be
Who I was before
You have the key
So now just unlock the door

A life, a memory
In the nevermore
I begged to see
And now I can’t feel the floor

My
Mind
It lies

“You’ll only be consumed,

Why
Try
To
Fight”

I’m not scared of you

When all you hear is deafening silence,
You’ll find the only fear, is truth that’s behind us
