Awake

Man down

This hardened shell is broken

My fate is bound to what I've done

Regrets – I shuffle down the hallway

Precious time – It's all gone overboard

Here is your calm down pill

I'll never be the same – It'll never be the same

With eyes wide open – My body's floating down the river

This live – What have I confined you for? It's all inside – It's all in silence

When the raven gets it's way

A Million thoughts are swept away

And then you leave it all

You leave it all behind



And maybe next time we'll meet again

And maybe I'll be less of a bitter man

When I feel more

I refuse to pay the ferryman – I'm so attached to my temple

He has to burn it down to get me

Ebony demon, shriek all you want – I'm not tagging along

The shade, the burning blackness – It is my protector

Fear before the fall – I can't grasp it all

But at least I'm trying

A light, a smoldering cinder

Getting colder, ashen

And letting all this go

I'm not letting go

I'm not really done here

I won't let go

Life's to short to be wrong

And maybe next time we'll meet again

And maybe I'll be less of a bitter man

And if I could do it all over again

I'd be the same man all over again

When I feel more
