Hope Dies
Granite exterior
Walls a thousand feet high
Stoic and eternal
The Fortress to my tender heart
All those who loved
Except for one
Tested and tortured
That center of balance
Resentment hangs forevermore
Never to be swayed
Oh, unyielding walls
Weather all storms
So we may never feel this way again
But, it's not their fault
How could they know?
We've rarely had words
The Crabpot scrapes at my impenetrable exterior
Dragging down at every opportunity
Resentment hangs forevermore
Grinding the concepts into palpable sludge
Uncompromising exoskeleton
Weather all storms
Hope is illusory
Naked and revealing
My tender heart
Exposed and innocent
My tortured soul
Guardian eternal
Hoping, waiting in deep contemplation
Of the anomaly
This is the core
Where my hope dies
Oh, unforgiving walls
Protect me from myself
Protect others from me
Until they give me a reason
To reveal my spiteful face
To reveal my mask
A guise of plausible deniability
Resentment hangs forevermore
The embodiment of Fear and Obsession awakens
The embodiment of Fear and Obsession awakens
For I'm a damaged soul and I was trying to save you all from me
Peeling the layers of my indiscretions
Fear and Obsession forever haunt me here
They can never know the truth behind my mask
My own catharsis, killing the innocent
Saving you from my trauma only created a rift
I didn't know how to say I'm the one in need
A universal truth came to life before my very eyes
Hope Dies
Walls a thousand feet high
Stoic and eternal
The Fortress to my tender heart
All those who loved
Except for one
Tested and tortured
That center of balance
Resentment hangs forevermore
Never to be swayed
Oh, unyielding walls
Weather all storms
So we may never feel this way again
But, it's not their fault
How could they know?
We've rarely had words
The Crabpot scrapes at my impenetrable exterior
Dragging down at every opportunity
Resentment hangs forevermore
Grinding the concepts into palpable sludge
Uncompromising exoskeleton
Weather all storms
Hope is illusory
Naked and revealing
My tender heart
Exposed and innocent
My tortured soul
Guardian eternal
Hoping, waiting in deep contemplation
Of the anomaly
This is the core
Where my hope dies
Oh, unforgiving walls
Protect me from myself
Protect others from me
Until they give me a reason
To reveal my spiteful face
To reveal my mask
A guise of plausible deniability
Resentment hangs forevermore
The embodiment of Fear and Obsession awakens
The embodiment of Fear and Obsession awakens
For I'm a damaged soul and I was trying to save you all from me
Peeling the layers of my indiscretions
Fear and Obsession forever haunt me here
They can never know the truth behind my mask
My own catharsis, killing the innocent
Saving you from my trauma only created a rift
I didn't know how to say I'm the one in need
A universal truth came to life before my very eyes
Hope Dies
