A Haunted Skyline

I’m sick and tired of living my life on the wire
For the same desires which have haunted me too long
I know that I can not just fade into the afterglow
Because it’s falling away
I’m waiting for a miracle
Which will uplift my thoughts from this gutter
Where they have been festering within this hopelessness
By waking me from this dream
And releasing these painful memories
As they slip into frame
I’m waiting for a miracle
I’ve been dying for a miracle
To take me away and cradle my guilt
In their open arms I will rebuild
This sacrifice which brings sanctity
Will lead me free to this paradise
I know that I could find a way to survive this curse
Which has eaten me alive
I know that I could live a life
I desire if it wasn’t for all of you
I’m still dying for a miracle
To take me away

Days Like This Will Come
04:09
|

The darkness has been spreading
Consuming hope like fire
Depleting our emotions
And seeping through our desires
I could see my father shaking
As the rest of us stood still
Silently clinging closely
Trying hard to conceal our fears
You see the time for us had come
To abandon all thoughts of absolution
Our empty hourglass had sung
As my father turned to us and said
You’ll see that days like this will come
When everything seems wrong
I trust that you will overcome
And learn how to be strong
The blinding light rose up from below
The earth began to quake as the shattered towers fell
These skeletal spires we were forced to take refuge in
Reflect the irony
We just watched them fall so beautiful yet disastrous
Just make sure to close your eyes

Deep within that chasm I left my loved ones
Buried beneath the rubble crushed and torn
I crawled towards daylight
I feel the light, as it falls upon my face
I try to shrug off the disgrace
Which has been consuming me from the inside out
I’ve been searching for a cure to take me back to then
But now I know that I’ve been mislead
My blackened soul is screaming out
To be released and finally set free
This remorse plaguing me
Must be sanctified and then set free
This barren terrain I stumble through it surrounds me
I feel like there is no one left to trust
I feel completely alienated but yet I must persevere
I trust I can find the answers
The symptoms of this disease
Have been binding me completely
I seem to be trapped in these nightmares
So roped in that I must surrender
You must believe
I can still see you as you slipped away
And I can still hear you as you screamed my name
I can still remember what you said that day
I know I promised that I would find a way

Mount Auster

We were shaken awake and dragged from bed
Into a pickup truck
Your whispered words
Harshly contrast the night’s tranquility
You were praying for guidance
To purify these fractured days
We only had one chance
To claim our fates
Before our world decayed
We climbed up to the top of a tree scattered range
Within darkened cave where a torch revealed
Throughout the coming days we tried to hide
From the frightful atrocities
We huddled closely together
Wondering what has happening
Days have slipped by without grace
Leaving us here withered and displaced
You were praying for some guidance
To purify these days
We only had one chance
To claim our fates, and rearrange
Before our world decayed

Aqueous Panorama

We could feel the shockwaves
As they spread out from the fault
The terror rose
Our peaceful waters began to stir
And crept further upon the shore
Just take a deep breath and leave it all behind
Just let go and retreat within your mind
Learn now to forgive and strive to reconcile
Don’t struggle when you’re swept beneath the tide
Time filters away
And we find ourselves in knee deep water
And we’re already gasping for air
We try not to see
That this is only the beginning
And everything will be descending
This water will not subside
We close our eyes as we
We’re treading water in Central Park
There are far less of us now
The heaping pile
Now lays inches beneath our franticly kicking feet
We’re grasping out
But exhaustion will overcome
But we were not alone
When we climbed and clawed towards some air
Just for a breath

Where am I going tonight
I feel it its sweeping me behind
I believe in this dream which I am feeding
And rearranging as it is slowly approaching
I can’t ignore it when I feel it creeping up inside
Burrowing deep within my consciousness
I can’t conceal this emotion yes I must find a way
To make them believe that I’ll rewrite their fates
I’ll save them all from themselves
I will become the one
I now feel relieved in spite of all the negativity
Clasping hands with anyone within my reach
I must now fulfill this destiny
Who will carry their burdens as my own
I’ll lead them throughout the end
Once we reach the outer degree we might find safety
I will fight for what we believe I’ll lead us through the end
Yes you’ll see I will pick you up when you’re falling
Lift you right side up when you’re flailing
Guide you till the end
Just you mark my word I’ll never ever leave you alone
To make them believe that I can
Save them from themselves

This bleeding twilight reflects our wishes from above
I try to catch them but there is no use for
Everything has come undone
I hear her whimper asking me if this will all sort out
I try to reassure her but I know now
This is where we will fade away
Let us close our eyes and imagine a new beginning
Where we would have listened to all their warnings
The rising currents a misconception we chose to ignore
Could have opened our minds to the truth we all abhorred
Now I’m screaming
For you to help me get through the door
But it seems that you can’t hear me
And I feel myself slowly begin to fall away
I can see it as it is crashing down upon us
The walls have descended and we are all now trapped inside
But the worst of it all is the weight upon the soul
As it lifted me away I still remember
For I can not just abandon everything
I could not leave her here alone I still remember

Don't Panic

We did it we finally crossed the ocean
We’ve reached the other side
Our passion through which we navigated
Has cast our doubts aside
Our endless courage has now
Paved a steady course
Our future is now
We will rebuild
We can leave this all behind
We are stronger
We’ll never turn back again
We will move on
We can change our ways
We trust each other
We’ll never be lost again
Their destruction opened the flood gates
Which forced us to retaliate
We are free now we’ve finally overcome
We are stronger than ever imagined
We can live now the lives that we dreamed of
We have a future now that yours has come undone

The Unveiling
04:32

I could tell by their eyes
That they required of some encouragement
I felt them all fall behind
The time had come for me to motivate
I ascended through the crowd
And exclaimed to everyone
That I needed their attention
Where are you going to be
When everything is unveiled
I promise you that I’ll be here
Just waiting to hold your hand
Who was going to be the last one to follow
I knew that I would rather be floating than drowning
I stood tall throughout their plight
When running waters were speeding up
I tried to lift their spirits all along
I was leading the way
Waiting to hold your hand
And make you understand
That this must be a part of his plan
I walked the line the line that used to confine me
I turn astray as the wall rises and consumes us
