Don't lose sight
Don't lose touch
Recall the bygones with a fondness
Built my name on honor
All I want is to be remembered for what good I did
Not to be weighed against my
Darkest sins
My darkest sins
Every word and every line
That I spoke in existence
But now my throat is still and I fall silent
Every word and every line
That I spoke in existence
Maybe you can strain to hear my voice through the quiet
A monument to my memory
A testament to taken breath
Don't leave my memory to fail
And fade
Into oblivion
The End is coming swiftly
The End is beautiful
Every meaning, every define
Explain the worth of a fond memory
Ever fleeting, my grasp on life
So let me make a name to be proud of
Ever fleeting, my grasp on life
So let me make a name to be proud of
Carve it into a monument

TRIUMPH

These lies bury me but still I breathe
Shame holds only the power bestowed
Shown to us, a tool called grief
Should we let go?
Barriers, I've overcome
Demons that I've outrun
Lay below my footprint
I stand triumphant
Crisis torrential
Pain into potential
Disparage abundant
I stand triumphant
Let go, your grief
These lies bury me but still I breathe
Shame holds only the power bestowed
Shown to us, a tool called grief
I have let go
Barriers, I've overcome
Demons that I've outrun
Lay below my footprint
I stand triumphant
Crisis torrential
Pain into potential
Disparage abundant
I stand triumphant
I stand triumphant
Through the onslaught of judgment
Your vengeful words no longer hold me here
I hold high my head and am ready to weather the storm
This pain will not end me
This hate will not faze me
I'll become the victor
I'll become the conqueror
Carpe Diem

Dissonance Divine
Take the world and invert the spectrum
Heart's racing pumping blood to leaden limbs
Lessen the mental strain by sinking within
The shell
The system has gone haywire
The chemicals dissolve the will to stand
Overloading and bearing too much weight
Trying to push through
To invite the vibrancy back into my world
When the floor drops out
From under our feet
We can no longer deny the gravity
Tendrils of darkness will infect the DNA
And we will be forever cursed until our dying day
Trying to push through
To invite the vibrancy back into my world
The colors might return someday
Until then I fall
In monochrome
Hurtling downwards
Like a panicked sinking stone
Usher in a new dark age
These are our sinking patterns
Relinquish control and let the fear consume
When the floor drops out
From under our feet
We can no longer deny gravity
Tendrils of darkness will infect the DNA
And we will be forever cursed until our dying day

Yeah
Take the knives out of my back
You left me stranded in the empty black
I trusted you
Another mistake
Laid my ethics broken at my feet
The sound cut cruel and deep
You're in my head
I return hollow again
Another mistake
There's no solace in the gallows
You left me to drown in the shallows
Tied the rope and left me to falter
I, was sacrificed on an altar
Going under again
In another fight I will bleed to win
