I’m broken, beaten by the game we play
Crushed by your hands, stung by the poison
I’m falling outside your stare, don’t make me stay
A sparkle on the wall, a shine on the horizon

Armies in front of me, plagues just behind
Bleeding on the ground, bones stare to the moon
My grip wavers, the hope I try to find
You could be the end, the start of my doom

Kneel to the flaws, bow down beneath the pain
Laugh & curse my name, this is a game to you
If it ends today, you won’t have my tears to gain
Close my eyes, wait for reckoning too

Swallow the kindness that life gave
Remember those memories before
There is still a soul left to save
A spark, a protagonist plucked from lore

He fought beside the light
I couldn’t see then, he knows now
An army mustered his might
Strength left, even they don’t see how

He isn’t there, a mystery presence
Standing above the armies, the hoards
The fight began with my essence
This is the future I fight towards

Death is not a dream for the internet
You can escape the guilt when you bite
Inside your mind you know you’ve never met
These creatures begin with a fight

Can you sit down & see what you see?
There isn’t a place for those kind of thoughts
You can be you, but I can’t stand and be me
I won’t call you, there will be no courts

Sliced from home, cut from their right
Into the belly of convenience, scold the poor
There will be no just, deaf ears of the plight
Into the gate, behind the closed door

Enjoy the glory, feel the pleasure
I won’t sit back & gorge this way
The young are here, you can measure
I’m standing now, I won’t let them stay

I know you see what you see
You know I see what I see
I won’t change your mind today
But one day we will all repay

This isn’t a game to them
Live for everything & anything
Cut open the roots & stem
I will love for anything & everything

Squeeze me in your hands tight
Flow between your jaws
Grass is greener inside yourself
See the red between my claws

Cracked hopes with shattered dreams
Served to the mass binge
Innocent eyes are but numbers
Will they fall to the wolves?

Tear apart the bones of thee
I won’t be robbed of my right
Grasp my heart between your hands
It hurts but no one watches me

Look left, look right
A deer in headlights
They don’t see me for who I am
They see me for what I am

My time is here, metal bangs against my head
You’ll never remember me
They see me for what I am
You see me for what I am

Fire is the friend no one finds
Death is the enemy everyone knows
Evil is the father I call my own
Sacrifice me when all is done
You will never know the pain to come

Bow to the king who rules
Sacred & shallow, misdeeds are none
You won’t face your accuser
Smile when the heat stings your heart
The light dies, the dark reigns

Cast aside what you do not value
Plundered hosts, burning prey
You will always feel the pain ahead
I will never end
You will always feel it

I hope for something better
Salvation is the friend I want
Hope is the enemy I know well
I feel hurt
I can never feel this again… never

A pillow lay crumpled
Bed sheets folded into *****
Bodies embraced tightly
Light stripped from its shine

Holding tightly the feeling within
The door opens to the sound of silence
Anger overrides love
Cracks appear inside of the wall

Cry into the sound of loss, of destruction
Metal edges, soft feeling, no sound
The cracks grow bigger
The floor collapses into whirlwinds

Sound through life
Silence dies, shadows race forward
Struggle to see, to breath
Bodies embrace tighter

No hope left, alone to wallow
Following the pool of red
A tear in the river
Love to hate, hate to passion
There is no Hope…left

Step inside
Far away from the life before
Don’t be afraid, no need to hide
You’ve come a long way
Entered through to the other side

Haunted by crashing fire, sharp turns & damning pain
There isn’t a face left to see
Falling beside the darkness, everything the same
She’s gone beyond, to a place you can’t

Is there a way of recourse?
A glimmer behind the curtain upon you
Floating for a second above the clouds
An awakening, a feeling

Step outside
Into the life ahead
Be afraid, no need to run
You’ve reached your end
Standing ahead of the other side

She stands with you now
There was no fire, no turn & no pain
She’s gone beyond, to the place you always were
You’re ready, floating far above the clouds

An awakening, a feeling, a strength
Your life has begun
Darkness falls behind you
Far away from the life before
Step inside
