Introspective

Peel back the skin And reveal what we already know A parasite, feeding on the helpless With tendencies to maim and kill its host I've seen your well-concealed dark side I've known it for all this time That without a plan or some purpose You'll start to feel it on the inside Leave it to no one Just do it yourself You once had it all Yet nothing remains So now here we are, face to face through a broken window I see the wreckage, miles away Cannot separate the passion from the hate I'm feeling for you Where's the compromise, I'm tired of the lies I'm hearing from you Betrayer... Did you really try To keep it deep inside Or was the pain inviting? Ride the changing tide Destroyer of your life Is this at all surprising? This is where the body lies Cold and bare, and devoid of life Time to say your last goodbyes Make it quick, don't waste my time Ashes where the body was Never again shall you gain my trust Wasted...memories...i can...feel them Burning...into...my heart...always Silenced...for the...last time...now you're Weakened...victim...left with...nothing.

I need to let it go This pain that I've been holding onto for the longest time and I would like to Erase the memories and claim what I lost. Build me up to heights before unseen and tear me down as though I never existed When promise lies At least I'll know where I stand Don't cry for me, I'll be fine I know you'll stay beside me The once great potential dies Oh, when promise lies. Hear the cries of the fallen Always keep them with you Don't mingle with the sullen Or you'll be one of them When you fail and you shall fail It's just a matter of when not if And then it begins again I need to let it go This dream that I've been holding onto For the longest time but I have to Stay the course and regain my soul I won't be left to rot here in this grave I don't believe in the predetermined Evaluate the choices I have made And live my life

Fear has long become my friend It pains me to no end To sit and think of life As pages turned or days gone by I question all I cannot see All this fear deep inside me Must dissipate before I question even more. When's my time? To live beyond what's thought of me And grab the golden ring Far from here, lies the key to the future I have searched long in vain, as it's buried in sand Fall from grace, a descent from the heavens I have seen with my own eyes, the horrors before Those times, are dead and gone I've left them behind I've turned away and moved on This time, it's to the end Regardless of what I've said again and again It's easier said than done Cannot assume this will turn out well I must escape this, my living hell Others have tried and others have failed Their heaven fell Damage is done but the path is clear I see the way through the haunting fear Challenged am I now to find a way To break this spell Across the line, the great divide That separates the truth from lies This is where I will find Myself with renewed life This seems to be the place for me Until I've grabbed the one thing I can't find And then I'll try to reassure myself that all is right So stay down, just lay down Until this wave has passed again Don't you see? Embrace the new horizon Careful with the power This gift I have received I've chased it for my whole life I found the key Take me at my word now I won't be satisfied Until I've carved a new way Until I cross the line I've never felt this way before Something tells me something's wrong I won't be fooled, no not again I'll live those words until my end After all that I've been through I can't believe you have been true Prove me wrong, I fear I'm right I won't be led astray Won't be led astray I can see the end so clear Removal of this doubt and fear It's enticing, a perfect life Be rid of conflict be rid of strife It's my freedom that I need Close me out and watch me bleed Here's a chance to, start anew It's time to seize the day Time to seize the day Flying high, lost all sense of time Broke the chains and threw them down Another try, now I've got it right Leave the scene without a sound You truly wonder why I chose to leave you here You never really tried to understand the fear Feel I've risen from the dead And conquered the thoughts once in my head Now I'll try to contemplate Where I'll head to next Never again shall I waiver Never again shall I fall Once again I feel complete Once again I am whole
