You wanna open my heart, let's do a surgery
Start where I fell apart, with our perjury
The art of drifting apart, it's my specialty
Seventeen fucking times, still counting
I don't know how to get a grip on anything
I let go at the first sign of slipping
I lost touch with what came before before
forgetting my home the minute I'm out the door
And it all just slips away...
And it all just slips away...
Here's some things I forgot to mention
Before the detension of our relationship
I skipped out on many things I liked
And tried not to be like, a bitch about it
I doubt it was successful, but while it's stressful
You must understand myself
I wouldn't give up anything for someone else
please don't think I wanted to be anywhere else
Sometimes I really couldn't see myself with you
Other times I couldn't really be myself with you
But ultimately I could see myself in you
And knew that you were trying just as hard
I know you tried to respect my art
You fought againt doubt with faith in your heart
And I believe we were all we should be
with this reprieve we may see what we could be
I've left a lot behind due to distance
Time chugs on with fatal persistence
Lives I touched just to leave behind and
Hands that held mine that I'll never find
Much more than just blips on my radar
Best friends, relationships, that don't fade are
Left like scars with their stories to share
As I journey this earth in search of their place
Faces etched into my brain
Smeared by the stains of time and age, mind games
I've played with myself, trying to help me forget
But now I'm filled with lingering regret
The sun sets on my childhood
And my hood's grown out of these woods
Moved out and found their lives ahead most aren't
Dead like they thought, and now that they've fought
Battles in the real world
They know what happens in the real world...
I only know how to do one thing
Burn with my passion as the one true king
Strike down the dark in my heart and sing
A requiem for the passing of all the good men
And women who fell at my sides
People I left behind in my life
Memories I will cherish and hide
Deep in the confines of my cold mind
Relight the fires burning inside
Eat all the lights in sight that I find
Strengthen the core of fight with all my
Might and don't die and never subside
RISE TO THE TOP OF ALL AND PRESIDE
OVER THE TOPS OF ALL OF ALL LIFE
KILL THE LAST SHREDS OF DOUBT IN MY MIND
OPEN MY HEART TO ALL OF MANKIND
...and all of it's mine
