I could believe in a future here
These things I've done, I regret - I failed you
So much for love
So much for the time
So much for forgiving this while your feelings died
Maybe mistakes could have been saved
Maybe I sought out for the wrong things
Smile as you sit far from the edge
And laugh at the tears I had shed
I poured myself out to you, to realize it was me
I poured myself out to you
The sunset never came
The sunset never came for us
I cannot stay here in this dark place
I can't believe the lies you would say
I cannot take this pain anymore
Sacrifice me for that moment I'd wish to live again
A moment trapped in my mind
Your river dried from the sun...
...never mistook for
Secede...
...To wake forth without
I failed you
I failed you for the last time
While my heart bled from within
Remember the oaths together we had made
Remember the day you turned your back and walked away

Eyes of Hope

Breathe in death's subtle poison
I cannot stop living life for what you make it
It takes from my stance
You cannot witness and make me say,
"I will corrupt the state of the child"
This is humanities own death
For destruction, for my faith will become lost
In the Eyes of Hope
For my faith
Side for my faith

Icarus Decimated

There was a way out, a way to the sun
Forsaken dreams by my side denying truth
I told a lie to redeem myself from you
I told a truth to a false prophet from under life
A wide variety of mistakes to choose again
Stabbed in the face of remorse
Wretched awakening from far beyond the abyss
My face swollen on, I'll try harder next time
My face swollen on, I'll try harder once again
My wings, my wings have grown
Dying to see your emotions
For what I've done
I know you cannot believe...
...Your son is guilty for treason
I know I could fly higher and still die
A dark cloud bleeds from the sky
A hope remains from the fallen
A moment of belief shows from high above
One moment they thought of losing it all
A wide variety of mistakes to choose again
Stabbed in the face of remorse
I bring you the memory of my passing
It trails this hope once again
I bring you death - time again
We're losing for fate
Never shall I see clear skies

Apostate

Set yourself fortified
Pay your debt
Say you're worth everything
Judgment - reaching out
False identity
Judgment - segmented
To give you a second chance
Right or wrong, you should not say what is false
Here or not, you can't stay true to yourself
All you are is a liar
Liar
I can't believe you now
You are so wasted
I'm coming here so far gone
This is what we're keeping for ourselves
This is what I'd find from you
This is what you should say
This is why you've taken
This is why you're going away
Your last regrets were mine
You were my best friend
You sacrificed us all
Judgment - forsakening
Your masquerade would deceive more in time
Judgment
Judgment
Beside myself, a life beyond your way
Terrified by rejection
Beside myself, a life beyond your way
You're terrified by rejection again
Change yourself to fit what's good
I will not conform
This is what we're keeping for ourselves
This is what I'd find from you
This is what you should say
This is why you've taken
This is why you're going away

Your Last Moments
05:35

Time was standing still on that day that you left me there
Never thought, always ran
Will I ever laugh again? Like you?
Did glorious things conclude?
Like you wished in your storybook ending?
You seem to say, "the course is written"
I never thought you'd go back in your selfish ways
I never thought I'd spend this year without you
All these times and days that never go back
Where I re-evaluate my life and wonder if this is the best for me
Go 'west' with him
Instate the person you were once before
And disgrace my will, my plight, behind my back
Your decision was made at the stroke of '12'
While I sit here, unknowing that you'd betray me twice
I will not forget, this blood you had spilt
I cannot ever forget
Not while I still carry these scars
Not while I carry this burden
You can't admit to any
Your guilt that drowns inside
Blame me for all your loss
But don't let me hear
Cause I will never know
Remember those times we laughed?
And spent our days together?
They meant nothing more to you
Than times that you could leave behind
I never thought you'd go
Back to your selfish ways
I never thought I'd spend eternity without you
You seem to say, "the course is written"
I'll burn away in time when I've made up the mistakes
I'll burn away in the river, that I sailed for myself this time
There's nowhere to leave this time
Time to move on my own
This is the last thing that I can say to you before I say goodbye
Though I'll always wonder what happened to you
Time was standing still on that day that you left me there
Never thought, always ran
Will I ever laugh again? Like you?
Did glorious things conclude?
Like you wished in your storybook ending?
