lyrics

Waking up
Waking up to realize
I’m facing my last breath

At the end
I am severed by the thought
Just close me down and share my faults

Time to go
Wither, die, and still denied
Drifting, insignificant, and it’s all mine
No surprise
I was too proud to feel your stares
And it's the most devastating weight I know

No surprise
Still alive
No surprise

Coming to
Eyes on buried truths
Complicated only by my selfish views
A damaged you
Incomplete and bruised
"Life withstands neglect in ways you can’t abuse"

I came from anger, (fighting) swinging away
Until I couldn’t be
(I never learned to be)

I called him “father", (biting) chasing away
He’s here still blaming me
(Why do you blame me?)

I caused the sorrow
I left for tomorrow
I broke my promise
(You were my silver lining)

I made you hollow
You’re not to follow
Don’t break your promise
(Become a silver lining)

Falling on me
My hope is forever
Find me dying
I know it’s now never

A serious silence
As my day draws near
A reflecting surface
This pride is only so sincere

Fleeing as the scene of lost souls pulled me near
Frayed by love, so close yet sudden
A simplistic life caused my weight to disappear
See me now, just battered and bludgeoned

Coming to
Too late to turn
The knife cuts my spine as you've wanted

Time to go
I have to learn
The truth calls me, lifeless and daunted

Falling on me
Resolving
Your hope was forever

Find me dying
Dissolving
You know it’s now never

"Asking for answers with no compromise
One more lie shows just how much time can fly
You faced your father but you couldn’t face me
I'm not the silver line. i don't believe!"

"You were the ocean i drowned myself in
But I’m not your problem now that you’ve given in
How can you leave when there's nothing resolved?
Why can’t we live and love before we all dissolve?"
