Requiem

We all find ourselves spiralling at times When we're faced with the surreal and the sublime Pushing it away to overcome the day Trying to keep is all inside Hiding all our scars to better who we are Self-inflicted suicide I had hoped that one day She'd wise up and find her way I was foolish to have believed To see light inside of her And I was deceived We all find ourselves embracing who we are When we're face-to-face with the fear and the horror We have embraced it together Walking side by side Our hearts kept us tethered Through all the tears that clouded our sight We have embraced it together Walking side by side Our hearts kept us tethered Through all the tears that clouded our sight How does it feel to be on the precipice of evil Where right and wrong are abstract concepts Abstract concepts determined by perspective Black and white Day and night Wrong and right Dark and light Crying Trying to find a shred of fucking common sense But I'm Dying Killing myself trying to do the right thing But it never pays off I'm so tired of it all How can I trust in myself If I don't have the strength To hang onto what I love And the only way out of this Is to reach within ourselves And lay a grave Within our hearts We all find ourselves spiralling again When we're faced with the dilemmas that we're in Purging from within to wash away the sin But it never goes away Showing our concern while our worlds burn Penance that we choose to pay If we don't squander life We won't have to struggle to survive Flame for strength Ice for protection Garden for knowledge Darkness for light Kindle a flame for strength Veil oneself in ice for protection Grow a garden of thought to carry knowledge Hold onto darkness to create light We have embraced it together Walking side by side Our hearts kept us tethered Through all the tears that clouded our sight We have embraced it together Walking side by side Our hearts kept us tethered Through all the tears that cloud our sight
