lyrics

What good is hope for when your life has failed you?
I couldn’t save him from himself…this rope that hangs so empty
Beckoned by this son, a heart that only knows an end
He’s become the murderer for this lonely body

Your faith in humanity dies
Forever vanquished by these dying eyes
Lighting the way to suicide

The scars never heal from a life I threw away
I will never find comfort in the sun
The darkest day has set its sight on me
I’ve become meek to the eyes of a plague

This plague that overwhelms this body, forcing the day upon me
The skies have no grace, wings fail without question
Broken by design…your design

Ashamed at this failure that haunts me
False hope has never felt so comforting

I will live with the regret of a thousand timeless fables of my ignorance to persist

I begin to see, but have forgotten how to live…
