Filled with self resentment Arrogantly blaming others for your concept Win one battle Like a fool you think you’ve won the war With false confidence you once again… Dip the chalice for just one sip One sip becomes two Two becomes six then six becomes never enough You regroup for a breath To prove you can evade it’s grasp So you challenge the storm alone For another round… Just like all the times before Your arrogance is the noose Before you can swallow that next breath Your neck is locked in it’s grip Tidal wave after tidal wave crashes over you Dragging you down and further down Allowing you come up for just enough air So you won’t completely drown Smashing those that love you Against the rocks of your lies By now you’re so consumed Their screams don’t make a sound The demon is now your guide A vicious voice of incoherent reason With no conscience or consideration Using your fear as fuel Possessing you body and soul With every breath Self-pity and anger are his tool Shattering the Myth of all that you were Until your death

Shattering The Myth
Filled with self resentment Arrogantly blaming others for your concept Win one battle Like a fool you think you’ve won the war With false confidence you once again… Dip the chalice for just one sip One sip becomes two Two becomes six then six becomes never enough You regroup for a breath To prove you can evade it’s grasp So you challenge the storm alone For another round… Just like all the times before Your arrogance is the noose Before you can swallow that next breath Your neck is locked in it’s grip Tidal wave after tidal wave crashes over you Dragging you down and further down Allowing you come up for just enough air So you won’t completely drown Smashing those that love you Against the rocks of your lies By now you’re so consumed Their screams don’t make a sound The demon is now your guide A vicious voice of incoherent reason With no conscience or consideration Using your fear as fuel Possessing you body and soul With every breath Self-pity and anger are his tool Shattering the Myth of all that you were Until your death
