lyrics

What does it matter if the end
Is getting closer every day?
Everything that we hold dear
Time will take it all away

Everything will turn to dust
Like the choices that we make
Is it worth it to adjust?
Do I give or do I take?

I don’t need this
In my life
One hundred steps
Past the line

But we do
See the bones
That lie beneath
All empty thrones

Have I done all that I could
In this rock that we call home?
Have I seen what I was meant to
Will I end it alone?

I can feel that I am changing
But not like those around
Everything is going somewhere
But I feel I will drown

My obsession
I will hide it
This repression
I will burn it in

Deny my feelings
Deny the only road
Designed to keep me
Away from what I want

Deny your warnings
Deny my only path
Designed to keep me
Gone away at last

It’s not worth it
All my pain
Nothing of you
Will remain

Don’t you see
All the bones
That lie beneath
Those empty thrones

It’s out of my control
Can’t accept it
Out of my control
I’ll reject it

Out of my control
I’ll neglect it
I can’t lose control

My obsession
I will hide it
This repression
I will burn it in

Deny my feelings
Deny the only road
Designed to keep me
Away from what I want

Deny your warnings
Deny my only path
Designed to keep me
Gone away at last

Let me be
Freeze me cold
Deny all
I’ve been told

Take my time
Turn it back
Don’t let me
Fade to black

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
