As the dust settles, the clouds disperse
It still remains a weight forcing down upon us
Crushing our bones
Always the same glazed eyes and empty stares
Hollow souls drained of what once was
Those words penetrate my skin like bullets
A crimson explosion of our unison
bruises still remain
Endless days, eyes fixed to the asphalt
The tides drawn in our feet
Still planted in the sand

The spark ignites, stuck in a revolving door
Drawn into darkness in disguise
The only savior that remains
Eyes smudge into the deep pools in which we drown
The repetition makes all attention fade
The fog clears inner beliefs unveiled
Follow us into despair
Or take the reigns to release us of this pain
The freedom I seek - never caught
Help soften the blow
The comfort I seek
Hidden deep from the path I roam
Uncertainty rules over me, my friend, my enemy
Leaves me broken and destroyed
Life's design fails me, this beast I've become
The mirror reveals a destroyed soul
Singed edges of ecstasy
All that's available to cleanse my mind
Still you draw me in my mistress of misery
