My life has been turned upside down A secret held with the most serious Of repercussions This road we travel brings weary eyes A testament to trying times But I will never rest Until I have my vengeance Desensitized Staring into every pair of lifeless eyes My dreams can never be realized In my mind I've conjured up another safety net of lies False hope is all that's left My hands are stained with the blood of my victims Their last glimpse of this world was of my smoking gun But the burden is mine alone I will not lead him down a path For which he can't atone Is there still hope for our broken lives? Or am I chasing after amity that I'll never find? I have inherited all of your crimes I cannot feel my heart tonight I need the chance to find myself despite this madness This world is spinning and I'm searching for a little balance I need your guidance to survive What have you done? The sins of a father, should never punish his son. These 6 weeks have left us tested (Can you feel your broken heart return to life?) I have felt the cold embrace of revenge I now search for a place to rest my heavy head (These are our final moments) I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Can you feel your withered body slowly die?) Please live a life of peace So I can pass with my mind at ease (Your mind's at ease)

Walking along the city streets, sticking to the plan (They thought they could go unseen) They were never intended to meet, their story soon began (Undetected, unchallenged by the day) They move along the written path, to keep us all in line (Walking among the rest of us) To cover mistakes of the past, we're leaving you behind (Leading to an altered rivers flow) Just by chance She caught my eye Amidst a sea of faces Simple exchange Of honest words It had my heartbeat racing But every time As things began To work out for the better Obscure events A shadow hand Would pull us from each other Although I have Found success Inside I still feel hollow I aim to carve out My own path And hope that they don't follow I have the tools And the drive To make this all be real Trust me now We can be Together unconcealed Take my hand, don't leave my sight You'll come to find That this can't all be real Save your strength, to stand and fight And through this night Together we'll reveal I have come to a realization That all I want is you No one can ever change my mind This is the life I choose I've gotta break out if there's a chance that we could be together What kind of a cruel and unjust force would keep us from each other? I've finally found something that fills this void and gives me meaning I need you to open up your heart

When I'm all alone The darkest place in my mind is my only home and I Can't feel my bones. This spineless journey to failure is tearing apart my soul Did I cast the stone That caused an innocent boy to become so old? And now I'm growing cold Struck by the fear that one day I might finally lose control Overwhelmed by attachment and pain when I look back on my life Can I say I tried? Did things go awry? Or did I just open up my eyes? "Don't leave me" Those words still ringing in my ears "Stay away" Are the ones I truly fear So how much longer can I keep myself alive When all the drugs I've tried can barely hide the fact that life is all a lie? I try to cover my eyes, when faced with what lies ahead But I'll dwell on the pain, and welcome the shame, that comes while I lie in bed I find myself in a room with my friends. Looking around and everyone's talking and smiling. But I don't want to be here. I don't want to be anywhere. Cause I'm too wrapped up in my shattered self-worth. Desperately trying to hide how flawed I am I want to change it all. I can't accept reality But maybe one day I'll learn to let go This passing year Has been the most distressing of my life Those dreaded sleepless nights That left me drained and apprehensive I'll never forget But this world is ever-changing And I feel it in my chest The time has come to put the past behind me The lessons that I've learned Will be the foundation For something greater, where I will be Free

I knew it would come to this After all we'd done together Now we stand as opposites At our final encounter The moon is our only witness This world is slowly torn apart and We're left picking up the pieces Shattered far beyond repair This world has blurred your vision No room for feeble minds You fail to make decisions It takes to stay alive You're not supposed to be here You live on borrowed time So now your own death draws near I'm taking back what's mine I see it in your eyes You are a broken man Tormented inside By the blood on your hands Pushed to the brink By a world you think you understand So what's your master plan? You're just a coward in the end Please don't make me do this You're like my fucking brother How could you be so selfish? I thought that you were better This jealousy has left you blinded, Ashamed of what you've done I can learn to forgive and forget it If you'll just put down that gun You should have known This path we chose Just can't end any other way The ones back home Will only know The story I chose to portray How could you murder me in cold blood? You think the others won't catch on? I have a family waiting for my return To a place we've been reluctant to call home I am the better man (I've made my vows) You tore us apart (I won't back down) How could you make me do this? (I can't let you get the best of me) I am the better man (No more to say) You tore us apart (I'll fade away) How could you make me do this? (Now I'll die along with all my dreams)
