A Fading Wing
Legacy of the broken things
Gripping tragedy of a fading wing
Melody, hear the devil sing
Of the better things, just forget the ring
Paralyze the fruit of your lies
Fruit that you despise, yet the seeds still rise
To the skies, though you hope it dies
It waits for sunrise to blind your eyes
Oh, light of home
Oh, life is gone
There's no bliss when my mind's like this
When I wrap my fist 'round the things I miss
Can you break my grip, let the memories drift
Things that don't exist fall in this abyss
Your reality keeps degrading me
Stories full of glee, pages left empty
Mocking me with your fantasy
Can I be set free from your fallacies
Oh, weight of words
Oh, they still hurt
I've given up and said I tried my best
I let my shadow make my mind a mess
If I don't stop this I'll be laid to rest
By the bitterness inside my chest
I've gotta wreck something to make this end
I'll teach this circle how to break and bend
I'll say goodbye to you, release your hand
Watch you descend to your homeland
You got me fighting myself like I'm
Wrestling an angel
Am I on the right side or
Am I on the side that fell
On and on inside my head
I question life, I question death
And then I start to lose my sense
Of value for my innocence
(Oh) I'm not omniscient, nah
(No) But I'll never forget you
Dragged me down but
I won't give in, no I won't give up, no I won't give in, nah
(Oh) Save your breath you'll be needing it
(No) Sorry that flame that you're feeding is
Taking all you have and dragging you under
I ain't going down with you, have fun in the gutter
