Let me down, let me go
Time is void of sound
I hear the echo ringing slow

This hurricane aroused by my destructive whirlwind
I can't seem to figure out
Why this desperate nightmare's kept me thin

Lost in the maze away from everything safe
The breath of the change
This bond meant to break
And it's breaking apart, designed for the embrace

Come undone, take it all
Words to flow upon the waterfall
Absorbing the essence of the battle now won
Can't help feeling distinctly powerful

Time measured so softly
Moments infested by the best
Of them, laid down to rest
Time treasured so delicately

The restless awareness
The scream is tearing apart my lungs
The decision to face this
The storm, so contagious

Daydreaming of beauty that used to surround me
The brilliance in the teardrops
Have fallen; so astounding

How can it be, to be measured so sweet?
A stranger to the pleasure
But not to defeat

Clench your fist, ignite the flame
Raise your blade, release the shame
Mind-Over-Matter
Correct placement of blame

Let me down -- The echo created in your mind
Let me go -- The clarity I'm determined to find

Coma-induced catastrophe
In the midst of moral elasticity
Why is it so easy to fall apart?
All this strength I have gained
But the weakness still haunts me

I've shattered the mirror and the edges now rough
So I can't see the fear
Repressing the force to erupt
Creating a bigger mess of this trust.
