There is a piece of everyone's heart
That is wicked from the start
But there's a reason to feel we were placed here to heal and contrive new working parts.
A sickened past of hungry skies
Shriveled by parents of a dying home
Sent to find nothing but earth and bone,
So give me your everything
Raise the flag and count the days
Left behind by salted waves
Break apart the blues and grays
A way to cross the line. A face an image of lies. And through thoughts he finds a side. Through thoughts he finds the sight.
I would lash back, go on the attack, tear the flesh from his bones and watch the marrow crack. The very essence of him I would cloud and dim and reclaim my true self worth.
I strive to find something less to hide but my face is an image of lies. And If my thoughts were clearer I'd look back into the mirror and stare straight into this monsters eyes.
And in conclusion a sweet delusion. of fortune and good faith, but as I have no doubt, nothing works out for the bold and the brave.

The start of apathy flows through the lungs like rust. Internal agony controls the things it's must. When you witness tragedy you’re ignoring the common good. Extend your energy, be the person you know you should.
Enticing the enemy it’s not the end of me.
I’ll be respected you’ll be rejected.
Defeating entropy I’ll make my destiny.
Hands on the clock, time is running out.
Rise up and take what's yours
Rise up and win the war within
Take back what they took from you
Return the gift you hold inside.
I see it all around
I have bled through the salt in the ground.
I have lapsed in time to awaken unaware
You know my name
You’ve seen my face
You’ve given everything to watch me change
I’ve held you back
I always knew but never said
We all bleed red
I took you over, you fell to your knees
You look so scared but I have more for you to see
I broke a promise but it’s all in it’s place
You broke your silence and now I’ll learn of your taste
You’ve always known
I see it all around
I have bled through the salt in the ground.
I have lapsed in time to awaken unaware
I hear the sound of a broken enemy.
A broken enemy
You’ve always known

They revel as they build their kingdom
I've watched as they tear it down
I stood aside as the oceans dried
The earth has become a sour ground
I scream for the fathers and gaze at the mothers of a weeping dying world
And as the truth sets in I brew an angry grin and choose to rip your planet apart
There is a ravenous chill to the morning air
From glowing to a frozen sheen
I've taken time gathered all the signs
When you will say you were counting on me. Did you tell yourself what you wanted to see. Well this time I can’t believe it’s coming to an end. It’s over again no use to pretend.
This is going to be
A fucking means to an end
And once I'm done you must collect your dead
I'll fuckin turn the tide again
Let a wave take away your precious land
I am the consequence
I am the shadow fall
A king amongst mortal man
You tyrant of dishonesty
I am the cure for the pain
You failed me
You all fell from my grace
So spineless
Empathy; I have none for the weak
Your price to pay
Your price to pay
I have no empathy
I gave you life
You meant everything to me
I’ll miss your sight
But you weren’t meant to be

This horizon creeping up my spine
Floating here there’s no such thing as time
I’ve held the world on my back
And now it’s being stretched so thin
The stars dance within my eyes
As galaxies intensify
The light the layers of my past converge
How long will I survive
I will open the sky, I will watch as your demons die. With certainty the moon will bleed and light our darkest nights.
The speed in which I circle
The best things in my life
Compare and bleed through
This is my testament
I’ll waive the right to get through
I’ll except my haunted fate
I let gravity pull me in
Cuz time will never end
It will go on forever
And it will be here long after me
This is my testament
This is decay
The thought so sacred
To let me in
I’ve seen a ghost and it’s tearing at the skin
I have been taken from home
But I will not break
How long will I survive
Drag me to an end
Allow me to descend

In the darkened summer haze, you lay in slumbers gaze. As moonlight seeps into your open heart.
She taunts your soul to rise, reaching for starry skies. And in a moment you’re breaking from your earthly ties.
In the wooded hollow
I’ve begun to dream about
And I’ll turn away
I can’t be the one you follow
The stream will swallow your ghost and follow. Flowing down the mountains, through the plains into the open sea.
The earth is quaking, your limbs are shaking. No future more real than to know we will be.
I pulled the stars from your eye
I gave earth to the sky
I've seen back to back a darkened moon, heard cracking thunder watched earth fall through.
Set free.
These hearts left hallowed
My feelings shallowed
And I’ll turn away
I can’t be the one you follow
