richie dagger Feb 2011
I walked across a tightrope
Balanced on a razors edge
Trying to cut a diamond
Out of an arrowhead

Its facets were ***** and murky
It shined underneath the crust
I cut and i carved and wouldn't you know
This diamond turned to dust

Naive for thinking
I'm foolish for believing
We had a future

Everything's ****** and it's all gone astray
At least for just right now anyway
Go ahead and leave we know i can't make you stay
Left with the bitter sadness and its unforgiving embrace

And so here i sit with no company
In my lake of mistakes, i want no sympathy
If i should ever fall from you angelic grace
Then i'll drown in my shame knowing i lost this race

It's time to place blame, to point all our fingers
I'll point a gun aimed directly at the mirror
There's nothing left to feel, i won't make another mistake
I'll enjoy my last meal that's led me to break

Alone for the last time, loathing in self-pity
In my lake of mistakes, i want no sympathy
And if i shall ever fall from your angelic grace
I'll disappear and put myself in my place

I feel my mind is decaying
My conscience is constantly saying

My life is just a waste
With no meaning
No significance in space

I've come to find in this human rat race
I'm always coming in last
I try not to last at the time that's passed
Because the future is coming too **** fast

In the desert
As the vultures circle over my head
The only people i see
Are those who are already dead

I have to fight to survive
What's the point in fighting
If i'm just gonna die?

I'll never accomplish my dreams
My aspirations from when i was a child
I'll be known as an accomplice to the conformist nation
To the scene parents thought was too **** wild

Yes, the wolves are in vicious circles
Waiting for their time
Their perfect moment
Yes, they will have there day

We may have made these chains
With our apathetic memories
Who's pulling the reins?
Who's controlling your destiny
We may have made these chains
Immobilized to our own tragedies
We can break these chains
And set ourselves free

I have witnessed the end of the world
I have seen the world melt into a swirling cyclone
Of blues and greens
Yellows and brown
Reds and orange

I saw it melt around me
Spiraling down a drain
Leaving me behind
To sit and weep
In all the sorrow
That it left in its wake

The infinite darkness
The blackest black
Engulfing every disillusioned soul
Every god forsaken life
In the furthest proximity

And this is where i am,
Where i start,
And where i continue

Chained to this ***** grinder
No strength to break free

This is where i am,
Where i start,
Where i end,
Where i continue

The names we have are meaningless
The things we say are emotionless
The actions we make are pointless
The lives we live serve no purpose
Labeled from our birth
Made to fit the mold
Eyes sewn shut we're ostracized
All freedoms sold
Declining civiliazation
Condescending to primitive beasts
**** another innocent victim
Use the body for our feast
We're all performers
On the devils stage
After the final curtain call
We're thrown back into a cage
Is this what it means to be free?
We're drowning in this cesspool
Called democracy

If i could do it all
Believe me, i would
If i could make everything better
Believe me, i would

Beneath these golden dreams
Lies an ugly reality

It's slipping away
And i can't function right
I feel worse each day
As i wake from the dreams at night

Are we torturing each other or ourselves?
Every day we keep putting ourselves through hell

This heartache is what we have and share together
With high hopes the soon we'll be one and forever
