Living in the shadows of the past Watered down, added color A mirage of what once was Will it drive me insane Before I escape this pain Take it all away Lock it up Keep it safe Until it rips me open again ...until it rips me open agan

Rip
Listen to the silence Gaze into the darkness Entrust your body to your mind Let go of the earth Let your soul unwind Floating into space Forget this dreadful place Become one with the stars Become one with who you are

Evaporate Into Space
You can't play the villain and the victim in the same play Eventually someone will notice and the illusion will crumble.

The End
Gawking over the shoulder of a stranger But can you see through their eyes? As they roll back to gaze through the sickness of their mind What line does reality define? What do lies whisper to the seekers of the truth? We cannot say we are not alone Yet we stand here side by side Chosen by destiny, chasers of dreams Condemned to the shadows By the men who froze the sun Is our future merely an illusion Or are we drowned by self doubt

Shadows
Another waste of space Another knot Another fake face A smile beginning to rot Another reflection On a cracked and dusty mirror Another unlearned lesson Through trail and error Another grain of sand Swallowed by the sea Another wilting **** Bowing to a tree Another planted seed That will never be Another worm Devoured by a bird Another melody To never be heard Another gem Vehemently deterred

Another
Maybe useless flesh Always dragged you down Emotional scars in form of a frown Dig in deeper Rip out your soul Dig in deeper Without control Shed your skin Look within Find your grin

Dig Deeper
I'm not real You're only looking at a reflection Staring up at you from the mud beneath your feet I am stained by filth I am something you can never clean

Filth
You created a monster The night you stiched my bleeding wounds You gave me all I could ever desire, hope, or dream to possess Shyly I sipped this ***** water From your calloused hands And as I slowly grew I towered over you And your jealousy began I built you this pedestal From which you bravely stand It's time now To tear it down And throw you in the sinking sand You attained your dominance as a gift Wrapped in the rotting flesh of my withered heart But I used you up And drank you dry And now we must depart Now I walk above the ground Where I buried your bones As we say goodbye I now rise To claim your blood stained thrown

The Serpent and the King
I've walked for centuries On a broken road I've walked for centuries With nowhere to go Lost in time Left behind Nothing feels like home Reaching for the skies I never leave the ground Screaming for my life It never makes a sound Searching for all the pieces I'm never gonna find I can't escape this lack of fate I'm running out of time Fade away There's no escape When did i die? A corpse on this empty street Walking toward the fire An empty soul, a black hole Nothing left to desire I walk this road for centuries There's nowhere else to go I walk this road for centuries It's my only home

The Broken Road
Confessions on the tip of my tongue Words of truth, dismissed and swallowed To sit in my stomach, and rotten my core Paralyzed, I'm left to lie in my cell Sickened and bloated by my own deceit I ponder the cause and effect of this commodious defect This isn't about affection It's about the reflection Venomous ardency I am a prisoner of myself
