All a lifetimes worth of chasing
A better brighter day
Did you ever think that you'd find silver in the gray?
Or perhaps you were escaping
The bitter plight of faith
Just another dreamer simply trying to awake
So you say
That I am bound to watch this all go up in flames
(Flames burning all around me)
And you will see as the smoke dissipates
(The taste of ash and ember bears no sustenance)
Only I remain
In the silence
Silence...
I've ignored my steady decline into dependency
As the life around me degrades
Isolation serves as the antidote
To the bone-aching stresses of life
Relapsing
Collapsing
Codependent
I surrender to my ignorance
In attempt to soothe my mental dissonance
All a lifetimes worth of chasing
A better brighter day
Did you ever think that you'd find silver in the gray?
Or perhaps you were escaping
The bitter plight of faith
Just another dreamer simply trying to awake
Im kinda sick of feelin wasted
I'm kinda sick of feeling ignorant
I want a life that won't amount to nothing
When did we all get so complacent
Putting a front on like we're ignorant
So that we wont have to amount to something
Its like we all need a replacement
Some sort of sign where we cant ignore it
Our addiction to playing the victim
For too long
Relapsing
Collapsing
Codependent
I surrender to my ignorance
In attempt to soothe my mental dissonance

The dread of death encroaches on my mind
A freezing sweat is dripping down my spine
This prison cell creates a lasting bind
It’s my own consciousness that keeps all hope confined
The moments before sleep haunting a child’s mind
Questions about life, death, parasitic
Digging deeper and deeper still, evoking panic never before known
Anxiety is born
Living in fear this is despair
By my own nature I seek out a savior
Why should I care so deeply?
Should approaching death be so crippling?
For if there's no escaping
My life is mine to live
Controlling my own death
To free me from this hell
When hell is a life that is lived in fear
Too afraid of mortality
This is barely a reality
Never no never again
Should I lose sleep over that which i cannot defeat
Focus my mind; surrender to my ignorance
There's only time; our only value and expense
Haunted nightmare dreams
Keep on gripping tighter with its teeth
Wake me from this dream to find
Death staring back at me
Never no never again
Should I lose sleep over that which i cannot defeat
