break down the sorrow
see where you find yourself
the answers elude rational thought
redemption is overrated
what the fuck has happened
to the life that we always imagined
we're running through this life
searching for the answers
but death is all around us
'cause the truth is a cancer
if I could pick apart the pieces
of this puzzle so incomplete
crumple up the fabric of consciousness
would I still feel weak?
if this is the end then I welcome
it with an open mind
nothingness, emotion absent
cut myself open to see if I still feel it
deconstructing everything. just to build
it back up form the embers that are
smoldering. the eyes will go blind
the mind will cease to grow. faces
will forever change. this place doesn't
feel like home
father time is choking
on the ashes of yesterday
eyes are blank, skin cold and gray
blood and vomit dried on his face
try to remain confident that a
fresh start is always just out of view
no more will the end of my world resemble you
I sit here waiting for things to go wrong
just like they always do
the end result cannot be avoided
so show me what I need to know
master of my own slavery, god of my own destiny
cutting out the tongues that dared to lash out
the clarity we seek is possible
the awakening in me is inevitable
