I'm lying awake thinking of a time in life which seems so close
But a clock and a calendar tells me this had to have been years ago
My hope is to one day retreat to the being I see in my past, now defeated
A man stands here tired- anguished-
By the lack of love in his heart
The lack of love in this world
There was a time when joy whispered softly into the ears of children
"Good things have yet to come, just continue to walk in the light"
Years pass, and these promises diminish
As frightening realizations of the state of this reality become apparent
A parent clings tightly to their young
Attempting to guard them from the evils that plague even the holiest of men
Yet it is all in vain
It's all in vain
Headed down the way
There is a price to pay
Nothing feels the same
Kicking in my dreams
While there's riots in the streets
Such a stupid feat
This effort is not enough
When leaders abandon us
Who is there left to trust
There's nothing left to trust
There's no one left to trust
There's nothing left
I'm losing sight of the light in myself
Slowly decaying to something else
I'll forge this soul into gold
And build a temple inside these bones
You're trying your best to act like
There's nothing wrong at all
Existence is ordinary
Nothing is complicated
I see the ending
In the coming days
Memory erase
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God
Where the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved
And the elements shall melt with fervent heat
Nevertheless we, according to His promise
Look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things
Be diligent that ye may be found of Him
In peace, without spot, and blameless
Mind so vacant
The beauty of life fucking wasted
The light of your soul is distilled into currency
Don't forget, you gotta put on a face
Try to act like everything's okay
Forget my name, memory erase
This is a war on the self
I cannot blame anyone else
I have a soul made of gold
But a heart built in stone
