Half drowned in these holes We've dug for ourselves How far have these days taken us We rest on the backs Of treaded paths And encircle the ghost Of used we used There's death In these clothed hands These words our bricks And so we build our fortresses The past into our chests Let me become whole this time And carry warmth Instead, carry ice in my ribs Or bury me now to prove I never set foot from this grave

Now show me the reason Behind your actions That left me alone And covered in scars So I search for comfort And healing to somehow Rid these demons And set me free I hope for a place Without suffering or tears And I long for that day When I can look you in the eye And hear the echo of your voice Again in silence I lay and my thoughts And wishes are of you, but you're gone And I feel that a part of me is lost As well, so this is my comfort And this is my release these are my words To you one day we will burn these writings to Find comfort and erase the past and rewrite These words and it will be The chorus to our lives

Awaken from this slumber Awaken from this dream Remove this blindfold Of perfect words That have done nothing But deceive I hope for voices To scream in harmony Against the stronghold That has taken so many By there throats I hope for voices To sing in harmony And for us to stand With bleeding hearts And to look away from the sky That offers us nothing but poison And to look at one another And to look at one another For this is your first glimpse Of purity This is reality Do not be deceived By the shallow beauty of words Your God Your writings Your actions Will burn to nothing In this war

Remove this blade That has been shoved in my back At a time that I was so fragile You Offered Nothing But the cold of your shoulder And when I needed A hand to hold You instead offered this blade And tore me forever With its effect But your intentions and hopes Will fall to deaf ears This heart will mend To find strength and the beauty Amidst this tragedy Will be found to mend this wound That have plagued my heart To be born again And to find hope in life Remove this blade That has been shoved in my back At a time that I was so fragile You Offered Nothing But the cold of your shoulder I stand alone, but I am still standing And I will not fall To become something less

Give it all, every last breath When the centuries pass We are apparitions Nothing but a mark in the minds To be baptised into the earth The destructive All negating hands To speak and to breath In the context of now To conspire Against the ravages of time To blossom In the context of today These are the letters Of our existence To not stumble On the pebbles of regret The inaudible statement ecom Passed in a glance And a smile it remains To the end an experiment In reorienmenting oneself Within a world of total Uncertainty give it all Every last breath when The centuries pass We are apparitions Nothing but a mark in the minds To be baptised into the earth The destructive All negating hands To speak and to breath In the context of now To conspire Against the ravages of time To blossom In the context of now
