lyrics

My eyes at this time seem so vague and green, unlike the sky before battling night falls. Yet changing sporadically at times, fleeting and specific disloyal I am always looking away or again at something after it has given me up. In the shape of resentment...in the form of regret this shattered life has yet to come to a halt. What a strange way to say I'm sorry, words that lack honesty hold the significance of a lifeless corpse. Dead weight sure to plague all of our walking space. People tearing pages out of their books filled with memories and past events praying they never occur. Running off into shadows only to wander, until sunsets seem to fall upon what once were our eyes. People do nothing but imitate names.
Indulge me. Let me take the reigns. Let me see what it feels like to know it all.
Though I feel we're alone I cascade and unfold in these hands that I've made. I can't see past our reasons, aft of observation it stains what we've sewn. I study Deceit in the texture of your mouth in waiting (so worth what...). We're changing our thoughts to these actions derived so worth what are we now?
I'm floating away, I'm drowning. Unlike the sky before battling night falls. Let's ride this night into mourning. Let's allow the blood to fill the palms of our hands (We've lost our way).
The only lies laying behind my teeth consist of false hopes which seem so real. At times I'm sick of lying beneath my own skin theres no content reflected back from these mirrors only visions of what I've built coming undone. Rivers of promises made up of insignificance. Me floating as a man, my
face drowning as a son. Love brings me burdens, nothing but weight over my head. Now, I can't remember the past. Such a shallow foresight of what's to come.
Heed the warning. Ignore the truth and pay for lies.
Stay where you are, though this isn't off far from whats wrong. Here I am. I know we bereave what is said in our dreams, I unfold as a man. I'm feeling today, the words said in the rain. It goes: "What's wrong? All of this weight will just pass" Weigh the unknown decide for your own. Stay Absolved. Wake the
day. Arm Yourselves. Wage and pray.
Your harrowed bones are almost mine. Expose what Is seldom shown (these days stretch on too long). In all that's said and know I don't deserve your stones
These days stretch out too long. I do not feel myself in boundaries set in stone I clear my head and breathe for what is the life of me. I'll explain when we leave. Prepare to be consumed, dark sheets in darkened rooms. Expose your fears and say "What's left for me to save?". Expose your harrowed bones most breath is seldom shown in all that's said and known I Don't deserve your stones.
Rendered unconscious by your bullshit i save face and stand tall. Revered by silence I save face and save it all.
Pardon memories. If you feel lost its because you are.
