As I Lay Dying
Album • 2007
This track is instrumental.
this world was never worthy but how can i call it unfaithful every promise was fulfilled as decay crawled from its throat like the dead rising from an open grave lips of splendor and tongue of deceit all dying now as our fragile wrists hold only waste like those gasping for their last breathe we cannot hide there's nothing left if all my sorrow has led me here then i would cry all of my tears to have this chance again and know there's more than this and know there's more than you like those gasping for their last breathe we cannot hide there's nothing left

How many years have we waited for a ship that never set sail? And how many days have we wasted chasing a love that was not our own? I sat ashore and watched as one hopeless wave crashed upon another while my thoughts ran to the highest hills my heart never reached the sea with only delusions of an endless journey I am left with an ocean between you and me Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection of someone else's dream The gate to my heart has been weld shut with the splendour of my aspirations closed in how many years have we waited for a ship that never set sail? And how many days have we wasted chasing a love that was not our own? Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection of someone else's dream

if music is a mirror revealing the depths of my heart then i will write the darkest song for without forgiveness my soul is lost all that is hope within destruction comes from You for i have fallen, and there is nothing good within me yet I've been given life i will never deserve for without forgiveness my soul is lost

i've looked straight into your eyes and turned my head for the last time because i was scared to leave these walls in ruin like the fate of those who trust in themselves we are alone and afraid i know you are the one we left behind yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone i will no longer turn my head i will never forget you you are the one we left behind you are the forsaken we've built our confidence on broken dreams now left for dead yet we've been condemned to chase these dreams that never end our selfishness consumes us until the whole world is not enough forgive the day i erased your name for it's the memory of me that will decay

you sat and watched as i nearly destroyed myself never had i felt so betrayed that you would sacrifice my life for no more than comfort and now your love means nothing to me you are a coward, the antithesis of a friend take action before there is no one left to defend for i would have stood by you right to the gates of hell

i never wanted and i never cared before now take it back this is a new day how i long to regress to the days before i took upon myself the obsessions of this world a day of innocence equating beauty for tomorrow may fall and today is already gone now take it back this is a new day i've grown tired of chasing convinced i was in need and now the years i've spent only a slave to this tomorrow may fall and today is already gone i will no longer adore these things that will never satisfy me i have seen my world change and then go back to where it came in this vicious circle we are all brought back to life only to die again but without these barren obsessions i am simply free

i see them coming with shrouds to bury us all before we were born they shaped our lives leading us into an unmarked grave in moments life could end so i will speak while i can this is my chance my time to stand we may fail alone but that is better than dying with them only to be forgotten i for one would rather suffer now than leave this life without passion this is our chance our time to stand

we have all heard what we wanted to hear "truth" that sounds right to our ears but what wisdom is there within us to live based on the feeling of our hearts? how many times has instinct let us down never to be thought through never to be questioned say what you really mean when your ambition calls you for what use is there in praying if you will only hear what you want to hear? we speak of fighting to resist this world but what about the battle within us? if we have chosen to live against the grain then why are we all facing the same way? there is no difference between us and them if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments

I can only imagine that wrath is being held out so there will be time for us to be redeemed but surely wrath is not being held out so that we may redeem ourselves for i've seen the madness of those who died trying but is regret only a word that the living possess? I long to see their faces regardless of the decay for in the eyes of the deceased... we would see hope in our last day inside this dying world for there is still beauty inside this dying world for what good is there holding off wrath if we are determined to bring wrath upon ourselves

now this is who we are I am no ones hero for we are not the giant men that some may think You are faithful when we are not so id like to tell this story the way it is meant to be without the burden that's in our hearts none of us would have ever found You for You are faithful when we are not You began a work that only You can complete now this is who we are ill never know the answers and ill always wonder why 'why were given grace well never deserve and a second chance that we will never earn for there is nothing I can do to save myself now this is who we are ill never know the answers and ill always wonder why but You have let me start again id rather be called weak than die thinking I was strong
