My time is gone, The world is done, But for the better good We must keep on! Ruins of what we could be Washed up on unfamiliar sand, And I wake to another day In this uncharted land The world has been shaken, Shifted by once-balanced might And here I sing this song for you Terrain sunken by divine might Worlds apart, into the aftermath We fell to dreary grounds The masses, like unforgiven All their eyes are cast down But, I never want to make you cry, and for this reason I must survive.... In my mind's eye, you are the reason I must survive! To tell the story again, Under false moonlight she sang: "Ave Ave Maria, my time is gone My time is gone This is your song." Oh my hero, so far... oh my hero, so far... But that was in darkest times With minions disguised And the power of persuasion Would result in this rise Crossing bridges over waters Into a story once forseen You won't be doomed another day I will save you from this siege!

Refrain from looking away And listen now to my words You say I'm taking it all But believe what I give in turn Easier done than said Accuse me, if you will Pointing fingers all around But denial lies upon you, still When I tried to sleep at night I swore I heard her call out my name Eerie as it sounds, it was not a dream A message so profound, I could not explain Trust is a deserved privledge And you mean the world to me Remember what you've taught yourself In handling this carelessly I went out and searched all around Following echoes to a secret I found Damp and dark, everything in sight But I kept on, guided by the somber light Sink into my system Second hour creeps me by I'm still getting used to this You let me down oftentimes But you don't mean to Your innocence is relieving A treasure so hard to find But oh, how lonesome will we be? Reverse side catacombs My heart has strayed too far from home The mazes in my mind, devastating I'm running out of time, but no escaping

Sometimes I can still feel These things that Aren't real Shadow every troubled thought Satisfaction I've forever sought Like the way he casts a sign Fooling my naked eye Stripped of my ability To see it figuratively I'm just about to break Just about to break Just about to break Down I know things are okay I've made them that way But I'm still about to break down So I made the decision To the doctor, for a listen He wrote me this prescription And I feel into submission Legitimate, it became The dissonance in my brain And to cure is to take But I'm still about to break I'm just about to break from carrying this weight Just about to break Down I know what I need to do Facing up to the truth Preparing for my breakdown Break Down

I've been silent, letting this sit Stoic and unmoved -- know this is what I meant If Dante had his way, then so will I By the fire rain, you'd want me burned alive For my crimes, you claim, against nature But you would sit frozen at the center For your crimes against your very own For treachery is the worst sin one could condone Falls pristine, and luscious fields of green Oh, how the fallen still all yearn for these Bearing within myself the weight of this fury Sunken beneath the marshes of hostility And don't you try to deny what you did! I'll see to it myself after our lives are lived Then resurface from this misery mire and breathe in the air of Hellfire You, and me! On the shore of the Styx I will give your rage a fix 'Cause I've been sullen far too long Pacifist without principle Air with no motion... Now! Behold the souls of those whom anger overcame! Gotta let it go, learn to let it go... Gotta let it go, learn to let it go... Gotta let it go, learn to let it go...

I gave this to myself because I needed some time I've been broken, I've been chased by all that is undefined So I came here again, in hopes to reconnect From the terror denying me the comfort of rest And I don't know whether or not I'm getting better In this body of halves that I own And I don't know whether or not you're getting tired Is this finally taking it's toll? Senses of evil, unreal of this kind The ones that exist only in my mind, which is What I've lost, broken by the wickedness I once felt For this fiction, I once thought was the answer for myself The waves are still crashing And the darkness is coming down My world is collapsing But I will not drown
