Despite my resolve
to close this chapter of time
I fail to turn the page
Reciting the words every night
The story unties the knot in my mind
it tightens each time I close my eyes
Resilient are the memories eroding my mind
Relentless feelings of enclosure chaos tears down my spine
I try to move on from the hell in place of what was my life
Answers beyond my reach, I’m crippled but not ready to die
I draw what feels like the first breath
since I can remember
you will not be my end
Thoughts and actions bounded by increasing strength not felt until now
With aching arms and chest I pull myself from up off the ground
And Dark have been my days of late though through of wondering how
I came to see light, escape the blind, and
Disallow myself trapped of this nightmare,
I’ve had enough of regressing the way I live
I’ve felt the pain of inducing a torment
A thousand times that I buried myself til
No never again will I surrender
the darkness that cast over my soul
solace now found
filling my mind with the air of clarity
darkness dies tonight
While my veins
Still hold blood
While my lungs
Still hold breath
I won't relent

What You've Lost

There is still beauty to behold
The story of your life to unfold
You're falling, please take my hand
A part of me I can't describe can’t stand to see you there
I see it in your eyes, you feel like letting go
But I will never let you down, what you've lost can still be found
Believe in you
we can brave this storm
through the tempest we still carry on
Believe in me,
Better days lie ahead
Believe me when I say
Look to the horizon and see the dawn of a new day,
your shadow lies behind you lead the way
Look to the horizon and see the dawn of a new day,
Believe me when I say
Recall a time when your eyes held vitality
now shut to the world; your attempt to flee reality
There is still beauty left to unfold
With your life’s story, still untold
Reignite the flame that once burnt bright
it will see you through the darkest of nights

My Reflection
03:04
|
|||
|
I know
Once familiar constellations now are no longer to be found
I've searched for what feels like years
Still my name remains a loss to me
When will I remember
Who I use to be
There is no reprieval from the voices
in my head
Cruel words to torment me,
My sense of self has all but fled
All Hope fades like a dying day having lost its light
Alone with my thoughts
I can't stand to face this night
Staring at the mirror,
the sight of dejection,
I can’t hold it in,
can’t face my own reflection
Rekindle the fires in the
sky that once guided my way
Wake me up, from my
miserable slumber
Staring at the mirror,
the sight of dejection,
I can’t hold it in,
can’t face my own reflection
Doubt will diminish
Belief will Flourish
Doubt will diminish and die
like the stars above I will endure to
leave the dark clouds that pass through
my light shines pure

My composure breaks in your absence
Life's not whole without your presence
Trying to find a sense of purpose
Like smoke to the wind resolve disperses
Surface from my grief only to find
you’re not, come back to me
Composure breaks in your absence
Life's not whole without your presence
(come back to me)
overwhelmed by profound despair
though I try repair
your voice still lingers in the air
a reminder life is never fair
dimly aware that life dies hollow;
give me the strength to endure tomorrow
the incandescent beauty that comes with dawn
fails to match the radiance you once shared to all

Reignite Position
03:58
|
|||
|
Listening intently
To the winds scream in place of words
Staring skyward, eyes burn blinking
I wear the wretched crown of misery
And you don’t know
That I’ve cuffed accomplishments
You took my faith
Now burn in my reprisal
I’ve had to bury my afflictions
Design a path to retribution and
Reignite position
As I tear apart the walls you put in me
And I have come to sober
That your taciturn insolence ends with me
In the freeze of your heart beat
The fall to hell will be your clarity
I don’t remember
The pain in place of thoughts has
crushed and buried
My desperate resolve to let this finish

Awesome album and one of my top 5 in modern metal scene

I like the direction the band went on this record. They took the atmosphere of TDP, and made it grittier and dirtier - it's reminding me of bands like Deftones in the best possible way. There are a few tracks that I'm struggling to like, but even those have memorable moments that make me want to replay them again.
