Shadows Are Security

I have travelled so far to find so little meaning in tragedy or tragedy in the search for meaning dark clouds have lead me here Confined freedom guides us to security what if everything I have been taught is a lie and all of my teachers have been wrong this whole time Compelling us to fight the battles they would not They have already won and we have already lost If we don not learn from their mistakes we have already lost We have already lost if we do not learn to change

That night I never came home wandering souls captured my thoughts Emptiness filled my mind, urgency spoke her lies in the confines of these grey walls I watched them move together taking me places I cannot remember we have been poured out into a loveless bride How quickly I forget that this is meaningless How quickly I forget that this is meaningless In a world passing through my fingers Istill chase the wind How quickly I forget that this is meaningless How quickly I forget that this is meaningless What have I learned from yesterday What have I learned from yesterday

Can we die to live another day? How could we lose sight of what matters most trying not to love what cannot love us back all we have is not worth living for if we do not know when to let go what is this life that we cling to it so tight, afraid that it will take from us these fading sentiments, can we die Can we die to live another day? what is this life that we cling to it so tight, afraid that it will take from us these fading sentiments How could we lose sight of what matters most trying not to love what cannot love us back all we have is not worth living for if we do not know when to let go How could we lose sight of what matters most trying not to love what cannot love us back all we have is not worth living for if we do not know when to let go

For so long I have felt alone content to live with unrest longing faded into countless nights that buried my weary heart You brought an end to this dead hour and meaning to a calloused life Held in your arms but too far from my heart held in your arms but too far from my heart These thoughts will carry me through the darkest nights while your eyes rested in mine. These thoughts will carry me through the darkest nights while your eyes rested in mine. I remember the way you looked at me and the way you drew me close with one deep sigh scattering pieces of my restless mind Forgetting all that we have left behind we have left behind, we have left behind These thoughts will carry me through the darkest nights while your eyes rested in mine. These thoughts will carry me through the darkest nights while your eyes rested in mine.

I've watched them build upon these empty hearts I've watched them build upon these empty hearts false hope of the lossless paradise gathering together Dead hearts beat as one stillborn comfort feeding lies through the answer of self denial Divided between a dissolute self and the sorrow of sincere devotion Devition! What is it that you find peace in now where is your hope in this dark night What is it that you find peace in now where is your hope in this dark night

I laid the night before me unraveled the tangles of my heart all i felt was stale hallow air these streams of uncertainty they are collapsing upon my mind torrents fill my veins until I burst with mistaken guilt and shame my battered bones try to keep fighting against the endless ocean of self defeat as time goes on some months are yet to pass puddles of ink surround this tired chair all of my own sorrow has been spilled into my reflection

"This is what I am this is what I have become Repeating yesterday drain me of my very essence to form again what lasts This is what I am this is what I have become Repeating yesterday drain me of my very essence" This is what I am this is what I have become what is love without sacrifice My tears hold no weight if my commitment is only failure Repeat yesterday Each day I am born again to be a child in the eyes of love Repeating yesterday, repeating drain me of my very last essence to form again what lasts This is what I am this is what I have become what is love without sacrifice

Only through struggle have I found rest with a piece of me taken away I begin to understand, hollow out this machine like chest With its gears that turn to make me feel and assembled thoughts that fade away Only through struggle have I found rest Only through struggle have I found rest Remove from me this deception that I call love, that I call love. With its gears that turn to make me feel and assembled thoughts that fade away Remove from me this deception that I call love, that I call love. Only through struggle have I found rest with a piece of me taken away I begin to understand, I begin to understand, I begin to understand

White shutters enclose the boundaries of my heart i hold my breath till the steady beating is shut out In silence I wait for what is real for i know the truth of my perceptions nothing in life matters more than you When first feelings fade I will still be here i hold my breath till the steady beating is shut out For i know the truth of my perceptions nothing in life matters more than you

Control is dead in this blind world for we do what we hate split from inside betrayed by emotion we must look past what is in front of us shadows are security they have become the solace of my looking glass heart In search for certainty I no longer need control Take me through the fire refine what is yours Take me through the fire refine what is yours It is time to overcome this we must look past what is in front of us It is time to overcome this we must look past what is in front of us

How could I ever go back, back to the life where I lived amongst the dead those who have forgotten how to feel and become slaves to memory and wishful thinking but your love has set me free as you've awakened every start that has been sleeping in the constellation of my soul how could I go back to live amongst the dead? how could I go back to live amongst the dead? how could I go back to live amongst the dead? how could I go back to live amongst the dead? those who imprisoned beauty i never want to leave your arms so I wait in hope for your embrace I wait in hope for your embrace I wait in hope for your embrace illusions of what I thought was love now I have clear sight to see I've left nothing behind
