When a Good Heart Sways

Steadfast
Can you hold your stance?
When you’re mixed up in the dance
The soirée that’s come to define
The terminal condition of mankind

To be alive
Coincides with
Pain and strife
We deny that
We will thrive in
This deranged, unkind
Way of life that
We have made

Like trying to bleed a stone
We grind ourselves down to the bone
Selling off what we can’t regain
For something worthless in the end

Keep faith as the self enslaved
That the system will save the day
Human experience was replaced
With cancer we love and embrace

To be alive
Coincides with
Pain and strife
We deny that
We will thrive in
This deranged, unkind
Way of life that
We have made

Drained til empty
Yet you smile and go for more
The lie we buy
That this is a normal life

To be alive
Coincides with
Pain and strife
We deny that
We will thrive in
This deranged, unkind
Way of life that
We have made

We have made

Fuck!

So much breath
Wasted on lies
The time has come
To sever the ties

Leave nothing left in my way
Breathe the ashen left in my wake

The sea that is me has been drained and laid bare
Gutted for all to see where some tread with no care

The winds sweep by
As time drifts away
Left exposed
To see what the world would say

See, it’s all out now
Deeds, you must be so proud now

The sea that is me has been drained and laid bare
Gutted for all to see where some tread with no care
Fight to stand with no strength left
Left behind
To find my own way
Out with what remains of me that once cared
Face it now
Nowhere for us to run

For all to see
Nowhere to run
We’re exposed
Nowhere to run

The sea that is me has been drained and laid bare
Gutted for all to see where some tread with no care
Fight to stand with no strength left
Left behind
To find my own way out
My own way out
Out

Nowhere to run
There's no way out

Shadow and flame
A foe so great

The battle
This fate
Fallen but not
To last
Much lies before me still
The silver shore can wait

Turning of the tide still hangs
In the balance if my heart should stray
For completion of the task I stay
To see the sun shine on a new day, a new age

Through time and space
Darkness took me

The eye fixed
Wrath swift
This plane to be
Swept away
Grey to white, arrived to aid
As the meager bear the weight

Turning of the tide still hangs
In the balance if my heart should stray
For completion of the task I stay
To see the sun shine on a new day, a new age

Grey rain
Silver glass

Turning of the tide still hangs
In the balance if my heart should stray
For completion of the task I stay
To see the sun shine on a new day, a new age

Awaken to the day
Voids grew in the shade
You sized holes
That I can’t ignore and
It’s become a fixation
Unwilling dictation
Pulling me every way
But the right direction

Please don’t leave
There was still
More I needed to know
Please don’t leave me
No guide on this road
Which way should I go?

Stuck within this state
Distant smiles I chase
Unable to recognize
Surrounding helpful shapes
Try to recall your voice
Escapes me with no choice
Fight this hurt that insists
It’s my fault that you don’t exist

Please don’t leave
There was still
More I needed to know
Please don’t leave me
No guide on this road
Which way should I go?

We can’t
Have our way
They all
Slip away

Wish to deny
End of a life
We long to, we want to
Keep those we prize

Nothing more that I can say
Our cherished ones in time will fade
Cannot deny time and age
As One day we’ll share their fate

Please don’t leave
There was still
More I needed to know
Please don’t leave me
No guide on this road
Which way should I go?
A plea
For the gods to hear me
Tell me which way that I should go

The sun
Hides behind the clouds
Its warmth
It keeps to itself
Never give away, never even just a brighter day
Locking it away, leaving you with nothing else but rain

Escape
In search for better weather
Betrayed
By wind that brings the storm
They say
The sun will bring a brighter day
But today
It’s the Sun that keeps the flood

A chill
Shallows every breathe
Cutting to the bone, It’s a pain that you cannot fake
Biting in your soul, this gale you can’t shake
This storm
You face by yourself

Escape
In search for better weather
Betrayed
By wind that brings the storm
They say
The sun will bring a brighter day
But today
It’s the Sun that keeps the flood

A tempest to see your world undone
It only feels like nowhere to run
For Sol has hid your path away

You grieve (Grieve)
Been deceived (Deceived)
Trudging forward
Ignoring (Ignoring) the weight (The weight)
From the rain (Rain)
It bearing down
Down til you (Down til you)

Escape
In search for better weather
Betrayed
By wind that brings the storm
We prey
The Angels lead the Sun to us
But Grey
Is what’s left til we move on

A tempest to see your world undone
It only feels like nowhere to run
For Sol has hid your path away


You moved on
Storm left in this land
Now the Sun
Is all by itself
