1.
Shades are always sweetest as they sink from sight Reflections in the rearview, a trick of the light You take a look at yourself with the mirror broken No wonder what you see is never what you’re hoping Now grows ever closer to decay The present moment surely swept away Behind it’s all serene But never what it seems Embrace the bitter ruse or choose a savage dream Waiting on a runway lost, afraid to be reborn Hesitate and still you’re changed into another form The futures fire forges those who fail to learn That you can’t trade tomorrow to go back to the past on wings of return The final journey has always just begun Only fools and madmen think they’ve won But can you seize the day when it’s halfway over? At the limits of life in the cold and sober I know better than to sail the shifting tides Or trust the color of the grass on the other side Even the bad times shine Given the passage of time The only difference is the distance in the endless climb
2.
Staring at the bars on the window Jagged and jaded, a long line of mistakes Locked up, the languid chains are hollow Depleted will gives them the strength Four walls to hold you Cloaked in cold security Search the surroundings over and over Hoping to someday find a key Unearthly warden hear my call Get me to where I want to go If this oppression won’t abate Get me beyond this frozen gate Get me escape Stranded on a perilous planet Outside of an upside, beneath the wheels Another earth with all the worth wrung out Familiar only in a haze How did I get here? Feels like it’s been a hundred years But somewhere there’s a hidden horizon And sometimes the answers aren’t all clear

Rage with decay like a cemetery fire End of the road and you’re ready to burn Nowhere to run as the flames keep getting higher Ignites the night at every turn Lost for days in the graveyard blaze Far beyond the bones of old Blinded eyes could shine like miracles Set alight this withered soul I want to know what went wrong No time to die for the never ending fighter Down and out but still ready to burn Unbroken loss is derailing all desire I’m on the prowl for hidden worlds Bodies bursting from the broken tombs You can’t bury me Drown out the dead, forget the funeral Save it for another day
5.
Give up your heart for a chance at being heard No one to tell you right or wrong Sufficient nothing will control the one it serves Fallen hard with weapons gone And I don’t have the strength to run No courage for the road So I’ll keep fighting til it’s done Won’t fear to bear this load Don’t have the patience for the poison anymore When all the darkness looks alive Even a weakened warrior regains another turn To storm the dungeons and survive
