You've taken everything and I can barely breathe
Left colourless, this taste of disgust
Is all that's left of me
Strip this place to dust and grind the rest to salt
So nothing will be left, not even weeds will grow
I hate the way you stain my name and paint yourself in gold
The only thing you are to me, is a single memory
The only thing you'll ever be is dead memories
Everybody makes mistakes but I'll make this your last
I'm no claim to charity but my faults are known
You can call this severance, cuz now I'm waking up
Realise these faults are your own, the voice of who you are
Everybody makes mistakes but I'll make this your last

This is not a threat, this is the reality
I will never let this down, you have always failed me
I've waited for so long, twelve years and not a word
Inherited nothing from you but a void that can't be filled
How could you abandon, all that you created
I thought I was a part of you but now I know the truth
We are worlds apart because you threw it all away
Your conscience is yours alone
The silhouette you left behind now replaced by an honest man
Someone who was always there for me when i needed you the most
He will always be my father withered hands that raised a man
Your conscience is yours alone, gallowed hearts hang in shame
I've waited for so long, twelve years and not a word
Inherited nothing from you but a void that can't be filled
We are worlds apart because you threw it all away
Your conscience is yours alone, gallowed hearts hang in shame
I’ve waited for so long, twelve years and not a word, I’ve waited for so long

To change the angles and replace your eyes
To walk a thousand miles and replace everything
Leaving the lights behind
You can't outrun your shadow
Not even distance, or time can mend
The remnants of an echo, when you never let go
The only person you can’t escape is yourself,
You can run but your shadows will find you
No relation to empathy, these are not your eyes
I’d rather die a good man, than live as the monster I've become.

I sense you getting closer, your only breaths away
Imprisoned in this home, there is no reason left to stay here
Running from the buried
Or lay motionless without a sound
The shame will never leave you, a reminder of your past
Bruised and broken, you’ve created a victim
Bones will mend, but memories will remain
Into the lions mouth,
A wilful leap of faith
To gain the upper hand,
Before it consumes you
Sever the ties that bind you to this place
There’s no reason left to stay

Inertia

You cover your eyes and accept blind faith,
Weild nothing but hope and not take risk in tempting fate
How are you content, living in the shadows of your potential
My intentions have got me this far,
But can they bridge the distance,
With measured footsteps we tread with caution,
But to succeed we must begin to fail
Set in your ways, go forth and prove your worth,
Resting on what you’ve crowned yourself
No shortcut is worth the weight,
The guilt of knowing I have cheated myself,
I have cheated myself again
What wounds would forgive, when eyes can’t forget,
My mind bears witness to consequence
There's no comfort before conclusion,
This anxiety grips within,
Restraint is the construct of freedom,
Break away, escape
Set in your ways, go forth and prove your worth,
Resting on what you’ve crowned yourself

You gave me miles of mountains but all I want is the ocean
The greatest distance before me, on giants shoulders I march
Leave your short comings behind you,
And carry your strengths in the forefront of your mind,
I’m still standing, you thought you bought me down,
I refuse to carry you anymore
Your burdens are weighting me down
This is the turning point, this is the end of you,
Put down your guard and remind me of the person I once knew,
Swallow your pride and say what is left unspoken
You gave me miles of mountains, but all I want is the ocean
I’m still standing, you thought you bought me down
