Lyrics

If it's all it takes to save me from falling away
A subtle breeze; it cascades
Let me sleep awake
Every day you watch me suffocate
Driven further from reality with every breath I take
Painted gold; the illusion of a perfect world
Carbonized by my undying hate
(What do you do when it takes you under?)
What do you do when it takes you under?
Where do you go your sky turns somber?
I can't replace the pain you faced
Hope feels like a distant ember
A brighter world where the dreams still wander
Show me light beating down on my skin
Show me paradise, where it lies within
The darker colors take me over, take me over
Existence like a bird and a window
Incessantly, the sorrow swallows
Persistence led a ghost to my shadow
Realigning me to suffering
Walk away
As if you're the one to blame
Just walk away
I'll take the risk of death, attain my dying wish
Just for a sense of who I'm meant to be
You almost left this place
Don't let me feel that pain
What do you do when it takes you under?
Where do you go when your sky turns somber?
I can't replace the pain you faced
Hope feels like a distant ember
A brighter world where the dreams still wander
I never blamed you for seeking escape
We see the end in the thought of falling away
Forever vacant, this life has led you astray
Will we ever find the meaning to this?
Or are we stuck in it's endless infinite?
