Awake to the sound of a lions roar Coming from the one you most adore Frightened by the day, before your feet can touch the floor Prayin’ away, the vessel stays, but your mind walks out the door Crimes for a long time, but not a long time ago And now I’m cryin’ with no place for us to go The broken hound’s bite should be worse than its bark Yet the wounded shepherd can still wander through the dark But could never stoke the flames in your frozen heart And is it really worse just ‘cause you can see the cherished scar? I mimic your words just like a jealous crow And now I’m cryin’ with no place for us to go Now you lead the flock by putting on a show And now I see your face without that warming glow And it don’t matter if your love is fast or slow You see I’m dyin’, dried up on your shores And I’m cryin’ cause I can’t voyage to before When all I needed was just beyond your door

Im Cryin With No Place to Go
Can you hear me, brother? My own voice is fading Do you see me, brother? Darkness creeping in like sorrow that’s invading Remember the younger days, brother? Games and toys we’d been playing How’s your life, brother? It’s been a while since we gave a **** Am I bleeding, brother? Like the neck of a hunted lamb Are you with me, brother? ‘Cause I don’t think I am Are you crying, brother? It’s ok, you’ll never be alone You know I love you brother So hold my withered hands And show me the way home

Well you’ve passed into that void unknown Though it never seemed unknown to you Beliefs unravel through the twines of time But one was kept to me, when the threads were sewn by you I feared the idea that body and mind may be intertwined These thoughts tethered to my flesh, and not sent for you to find Though your voice, so resolute, could I ever be like you? That’s when I realized, when I thought I was alone You knew you didn’t know, too Whether it’s that deity in the sky, or the stardust in our minds A big bang that rang like the barrel of a used gun Triggered by nothing but the blinding might of time Or a virgins son, on the run, charged with the crime of being someone You knew you didn’t know, but there was a constant across all of them That nothing else matters than the fact we’ll meet again To breach the complete unknown, one must ask themselves to choose let it eat your brain away? or simply be like you

To Breach the Complete Unknown
My minds burning a hole in my pocket I’m terrified to stray but curious to drop it Momentary healing That fleeting feeling But I don’t want to feel no more And now that flame eats what the numbness left behind Always burning, never hurting, it’s too late to unwind Searching for my soul, the last thing to forgo But still that flame burns too slow As we both realize, the soul you seek left this seat a long time ago I’ll cut the shoe to make it fit To stop from going down this endless pit Yet I’m still nothing but that rejected misfit So if I can’t take this world, I’ll take myself from it

Take
Sometimes, realization comes from nowhere And the truth is so powerful that it can strike you where you stand No amount of steel or stone can hide that there is only one truth That nothing is true Our foundation from which we gather our beliefs is more fragile than you may realize Though we don’t like to think so Our beliefs, our bodies, our faith Everything changes And when that foundation crumbles beneath us, we do not fall, we climb Climb the ladder of evolution I do believe in god But I also believe that god grants us the power to have faith Not in God, but in ourselves Because we are part of God God is the universe, and we are the universe Perhaps a conceited view to those who do not dare look beyond the words themselves But to those who understand, to those who have faith They just may have that same realization And though I heartily speak these words Question them as well Nothing is true, everything is permitted

Freedom
It’s time to let it go Your past will only torment you If you choose to make it so Your haunted dreams eat you alive Replace the blood with tears And your conscious will survive Even if you miss me What will your life gain? Would it really be that bad If we never meet again? I love you so much But it’s time to let me go For if we never meet again Our time now was worth it Of that I surely know

Let Go
Ingested demons cause a break Infested in me, deceived by the snake An endless tunnel, though no escape A two way hell, get me out of this place Splatter the walls with my sins Will this torment ever end? My back is burning, a rising heat I try to walk, I try to run Wicked spirits take my feet Oh the horrors have just begun A light hath shone, a path awaits A getaway or devils bait? I crawl toward the golden glow I get closer, then start to slow That gleam of gold converts to red That spark of hope, I now have shed And as I breathe my final breath I begin to mourn my futile death The last thing I hear, that profane hiss I sink forever in this bronze abyss…

Both Ways
This phrase, so often repeated as if it were a bluff And I used to think these words were worn But now I see that it can’t be said enough Even if I repeated it since the day that I was born I would move a mountain just for you to see me I would crater this world as I start shrieking How much I love the energy you bring Every word I hear Is like music to my ears And as the ground crumbles below you I would rip my own heart out if it meant that I could show you That I would do anything to ensure that I could know you You may never read this and perhaps it is our destiny But that feeling in my heart, never to subside I’d tear through fate itself Just to call you mine

Futile Love
Don’t you wish Memories could last forever To pull the lever And enter A nostalgic adventure Things weren’t always good But they seem so much better When you’re on the other side of the black mirror
