we fear what we see in the distance

we're shattered by life's soft deceit

enslaved to our thoughts by our reason

refusing to walk with the weak



betrayed by the past's desolation

we slept listless nights by the shore

searching for signs of salvation

hoping to find something more



tell me what i have when it all slips away

tell me what i see when the light fades away

tell me what i hold in the palm of my hand

tell me what i feel because i'm trying

to understand

i'm sending transmission



confused by the weight of our virtue

we follow the paths of the slain

in silence we walk through these shadows

embracing the pleasures of pain

once again
