03 Everything We Are

Everything before me is ablaze in my eyes
Watching with intent as the world I knew ceases to be
All that’s left of my life is a whispered echo
Failure in the eyes of the casting gaze my heart is fading, weary
As I exhale the disappointment
My eyes a filled with the truth about the life we lead this is everything we are
The hollow feeling brought out amidst the darkness that has fallen over me
This is everything we are

We blindly accept the reality of the world in which we’re presented
Forced to exist in a world lacking courage and heart
I am just a man lacking direction a ghost wandering blank
Further and further into the abyss I stare my body lies lifeless
As everything I love tears away

I’m a dead man here I’ve got nothing to fear my lungs fill with fire as the world ceases to be
These lacerations upon my heart tell the tale of things to come
The blackened skies casting down on defeat
This is everything we are

How can one so strong feel such weakness as the night burns bright the darkness feels calm
Grant me the serenity within help me end this plague felt from the inside
I wasn’t told of this life I wasn’t warned of the life that I would lead
An existence filled with greed a time where hope never was
I have witnessed true terror I have seen the end of the world
We conquer one fear for next in hope of release from the torment
Our minds forever in defeat our hearts forever lost in the depths

Lying broken and cold waiting for the non exist
Praying for the time to come and release all that was promised
Lost in this fear my own personal solitude hearing the words slip silently from the dead below
This is everything we are
