Willow

Staring in your eyes, remembering a distant past
Lit by twilight and fading glory
Though I hold steadfast
The echoes of death within my hands
The omen remains, memento mori
And now I sow the seeds beneath the salted sand
Living just to die, and escape at last
They tell me son repent
With a hollow lie, and through the vaulted glass
They beg of me relent
And we're lost in the golden light

Faith, proclaim the visions as I have seen
Losing humility while crawling in the black and
Fade, abate the image of the obscene
Searching for love extolled
Maybe in a distant life

I feel it in my bones
Ripping from my soul
And now, I'm giving in
Chasing the empty space
Watch it fall away
The silence I'm living in

Interlaced purposes, but we're lost in the dissonance
Clinging to progress while I'm drowning in the deep
I drag the waters and walk the mist
Embrace a liar's omnipotence
I crack the skin while all these leaches are bleeding me

Committing rust to memory
Tasting the sin of promise seduced by fate
Chasing agony
Consuming fear in excess
I am the son of misery, cast aside I look into a life of pain

I feel it in my bones
Ripping from my soul
And now, I'm giving in
Chasing the empty space
Watch it fall away
The silence I'm living in

Paranoid, the distance between us smiles
Running wild, tasting smoke in the violence
Walking through the flame, never be the same
Crawling through remains that I disdain
Look inside my own hollow eyes
Cast aside I look into a life of pain

As time moves on
I lose hope within myself
I'm giving in
