Don't Forget Me

There is something solemn about standing at the grave
And certainly, added perspective when you see your name
Everything you've said and done in life reduced to stone
A measure of a man's not worth but - “did he go alone?”
You never know when it's your time. Buried with your paradigms
Will you be sold for all you took? Rose pedals trampled underfoot,
as people walk away it rains. No one's left to mourn your name
A final act, they close the door, a resting place forevermore
There is something beautiful about standing at the ledge
Not knowing if you'll turn and run or get pushed over the edge
If you can't appreciate those moments in your life
Then I think it's safe to say that you've already died
You don't know what's in the plans
The hourglass now drained of sand
A clarity of what's at stake
When life is something that you fake
So, gaze upon the sky and think
of chapters blank or filled with ink
Forever written, stain the page
A legacy that you have made
So please don't forget me when I'm gone.
So please don't forget me when I'm gone.
Underappreciated minutes turn to years
and suddenly all that you fear has come to be
Mistakes will take their toll and your regrets won't turn to gold
Just shed the blindfold now and finally see what it takes to be free
Please don't forget me when I'm gone
(When we all return to the earth, a reminder of what we were)
So please don't forget me when I'm gone
(As forms will break and fade, a part of me will always stay behind)

Chapter Ends, Sun Sets

Have you given up this fight?
Fallen victim to the plight inside?
At the sliver of dawn
Will you reckon you’ve been wrong?
Alright, deceit lights up the sky
What is done is done
Can no longer sympathize
Watched and waited for so long
Words of wisdom all defied
So we pivot from the pile of lies
The words written on a tattered page
This is your life, you don’t want anyone to hold you back
So you burn all these bridges, all these books
Rubble, ash, and darkness - all that’s left of what you had
Does the light from the sun
Shine on everything before, or on everything to come?
An arc in the sky, and then into night
Don’t be so surprised when you find yourself alone
Cause what is done is done
Can no longer sympathize
To no avail, fiction prevails
You try so hard to justify
And you still deny
The words written on a tattered page
This is your life, you don’t want anyone to hold you back
So you burn all these bridges, all these books
Rubble, ash, and darkness - all that’s left of what you had
As dusk comes on, can you trust your fading memories? A silhouette of doubt
Chapters filled with broken reasoning deceiving you, so read the lines aloud (read the lines aloud)
The words written on a tattered page
This is your life, you don’t want anyone to hold you back
So you burn all these bridges, all these books
Rubble, ash, and darkness - all that’s left of what you had
When your dead and gone
All that’s left of what you had
When your dead and gone

Don't put me on a pedestal, I'm bound to fall and crash onto this floor
Would anybody care?
Would anybody take the time to help?
“A waste of time” - it's all perspective. In your head detachment works just fine
Admit defeat and hang my head
(Cause that's the only way you'll understand)
I'm better off just left for dead
(Cause I don't think you'll ever understand)
Roll the dice now, I'm bound for some good luck
I've been down and I don't want to get stuck
But it seems like everything's out of my reach
Wake me up when everything's lookin' alright
Don't need to learn that every choice has its own price
I know that nothing is free
So please don't lead me on again, cause I'm lost enough as is
Confused of where I am
No clue or sense of anything around me
Compasses that lead to nowhere. Maps to nothing. Are you even there?
Call it a loss and walk away
(Cause that's the only way you'll understand)
And live to see another day
(Cause I don't think you'll ever understand).
Roll the dice now I'm bound for good luck
I've been down and I don't want to get stuck
But it seems like everything's out of my reach
Wake me up when everything's lookin' alright
Don't need to learn that every choice has its own price
I know that nothing is free
I know that nothing is free
Roll the dice now I'm bound for good luck
I've been down and I don't want to get stuck
But it seems like everything's out of my reach
Wake me up when everything's lookin' alright
Don't need to learn that every choice has its own price
I know that nothing is free

Deathbed
02:30
|

Perched high upon a gilded throne
The first to reprimand and yet the last to know
About your lack of worth. You so-called “work of art”
Your detriment to all is all you've shown thus far
So try a little humility before the curtain falls and everyone will see
Just choke down some indignity before we lock the door, throw away every key
When everyone stops looking, that's when you hate yourself
So blind to counting failure so you blame everyone else
Not a moment off your tongue you're thinking “They all believe the lies”
I guess it's you that misconstrues indifference in their eyes
Is there a fear that no one will be near?
When you last exhale the air that gives you life
Who will be there?
This is the deathbed you made.

Saint Philomena

Halfway to the bottom and trying to find some salvation
The fading light above provides me certain confirmation
That the bed of indefinite sleep below is cold yet comforting
The purity to breathe even when the guilt is smothering
It will be calm in the river tonight.
The raging storm fading from your sight
So drag the water for what you've left of me
Drown the sound of any plea for sympathy
Find the pieces, start this recovery
Go on my dear and search for the closure that you fear
Look down from the misty bank to find reflections in the mirror
Of the world upside down; the lucidity of flaws
That carry us forward or return us to the way it always was
There will be comfort in the wind tonight
These burdens drift and fade into the twilight
Then drag the water for what you’ve left of me
Drown the sound of any plea for sympathy
Find the pieces, start this recovery
Darkness settles in, I’m sodden and subdued
Reminded of a time I was a fire for you
We can’t stay the same no matter what we say
Life makes us all a martyr anyway

Wishing Well

I’ll try to see it all from your perspective
I’m tired of this terrible charade
Covered in my faults slowly coming to a halt
Stop the marching of this misery parade
Worn out but without a place to rest
Tired but I cannot find the sleep
Draped in red with what I left unsaid
Am I awake or am I stuck inside a dream?
If your my wishing well
I’m wondering just how far down you go
Should I give myself to you
Fall into the dark unknown below
In all this doubt now, where’s my faith?
Obstinate in everything I do
Never seem to make the right decision
Monotony’s a wall, try to climb it and you fall
Why do we scream so loud when no one ever listens?
Daggers from your disappointed eyes
Change always comes at a cost
An aversion to the fix
But at the end of all of this
I’ll throw a penny in and hope I don’t get lost - (pray I don’t get lost)
Cause if you’re my wishing well
I’m wondering just how far down you go
Should I give myself to you
Fall into the dark unknown below
In all this doubt now, where’s my faith
Where’s my faith
You’re my wishing well
Wondering just how far down you go
Should I give myself to you
Fall into the dark unknown below
If you’re my wishing well
Then I’ll I give myself to you
