Days of the Lost

Let fall pretense and distance Let rage, the failure inside Left to instinctual forces As it rides the hours Take it to the end of a false beginning What is lost to society Break into the fortress holding us down Lost in reality Make true resistant progress Against a future to hold Regress is not in the system As the hours burn Break the waves of a force incoming What is lost to society Let us out, let us out Let us out Wе must go to the end of our dependence Light the fire, take the fall We must go to rid us of our wants now The state of being on the line Conditional This state of being, complicit with the cause Interdependence broken Our reality is altered Through the fault of our own Our reality is shifting Conditional We must go to the end of our dependence Light the fire, take the fall We must go to rid us of our wants now The state of being on the line We must go to the end Light the fire Take the fall We must got to the end This state of being Conditional

There is a place that holds the answer Where nothing calls to be set free It ends and it begins with utter silence It holds what is better kept inside Where do we go On the day that should never ever come? I don't want fallen angels I want to feel like I belong I don't want broken promises Our trust is failing It bears no falsehood or deception It informs our ways and clears our path What is set in motion begins to alter Knowing it will never end I don't want fallen angels I want to feel like I belong I don't want broken promises Our trust is failing I don't want fallen angels I want to feel like I belong I don't want broken promises Our trust is failing I don't want fallen angels I want to feel like I belong I don't want broken promises Our failure Our failure is trust

We are of the persuasion We are of the cause That fail within our systems We are the nothingness Uphold the courtesy While taking the crown Rise from the inside Rise from the norm We are the blindness We are the blind Gateways to the fear among you Lifelong race to leave behind Deep inside the violence rages Till the fear within you dies Gateways to the fear among you Lifelong race to leave behind Deep inside the violence rages Till the fear within you dies It takes a moment It extracts moments out from time Where you alter the course That leads to the end of denial And do you give up? Or do you give in? Gateways to the fear among you Lifelong race to leave behind Deep inside the violence rages Till the fear within you dies Gateways to the fear among you Lifelong race to leave behind Deep inside the violence rages Till the fear within you dies Do you give up? Or do you give in? Do you give up? Or do you give in? Gateways to the fear among you Lifelong race to leave behind Deep inside the violence rages Till the fear within you dies Gateways to the fear among you (Gateway to the fear) Race to leave behind (Do you give in?) This violence rages Till the fear (Till the fear, till the fear) within you dies

We spent the last of our time In isolation Without a question to the night Must we go, to the end Must we fall behind the lines We must go, for ourselves, to the end Inside the turmoil of the mind The truth lies further away From the light of the day to the blind decisions True contradiction I don't want to be Where you think I am Self-deception is a part of me What is always there for you A truth worth lying for We turned hours into days Meaning into nothing Without a moment to recall Must we take what we have to remember We must make of ourselves what we lack Outside the instinct there is light Our time is ending We take control, we hold the line Against this blinding fear I don't want to be Where you think I am Self-deception is a part of me What is always there for you A truth worth lying for The one who's never there is a part of me I don't want to be Where you think I am Self-deception is a part of me What is always there for you A truth worth lying for The one who's never there I don't want to be Where you think I am Self-deception is a part of me What is always there for you A truth worth lying for The one who's never there is a part of me

From far within ourselves the fires brought it out The sights and sounds of the rebellion Laid dormant to the overseer, resist detection here Below the surface, we can hear it coming To be done with all of this, we find shelter underground From the rules and the expectations To the horrors that are in your head From the first to the last of those unbound by fury So follow me down Follow me down, we are the will to be What never they could see We will remain the last of our kind Where our forces rise within The outskirts and the nameless darkness Our souls ignited, the beaten path The only one for whom we march To be rid of all you fear within the underground From the rules and the expectations To the horrors that are in your head From the first to the last of those unbound by fury So follow me down Follow me down, we are the will to be What never they could see We will remain, we will remain The last of our kind So when reality comes to your door You draw the blinds and reach for your armor In defense of what the world expects of you It is the last thing on your mind To be done with all of this, we find shelter underground From the rules and the expectations To the horrors that are in your head From the first to the last of those unbound by fury So follow me down, the last of our kind We are the will to be the last of our kind What never they could see We will remain the last of our kind

Far in the distance, revealed to be the end Draws ever closer to ourselves The jagged edges of our past tear the years apart Relived in empathy denied I see longing through the timeless eyes I see purpose gone astray through a prism of lies I see longing, I see purpose gone astray Why does it matter? The higher we rise, the further we go No matter how close wе can get The higher we rise, the further we go In this, the poverty of self What in the future opens to the void These longer days stretch away Helpless as the mind commands Raise us from oppression's hold We're altered by our divide I see longing for some peace of mind I see purpose gone astray, does it matter? The higher we rise, the further we go No matter how close we can get The higher we rise, the further we go In this, the poverty of self We are the most alone Looking through a prism of lies I see purpose gone astray, does it matter? The higher we rise, the further we go No matter how close we can get The higher we rise, the further we go In this, the poverty of self We are the most alone (The most alone...)
