Parallax

Listen to the silence

Within a fearful a mind

Corrode

Every bit of me forever it haunts

Rather than sleep, I lie here all alone

Every fear witnessed, in my mind I drown

Here to stay in control of every breath I take

Everything that I fear and know

This time I refuse to play along

I stand tall

With an iron heart, I face it all

Watch me fall apart, away into pieces

Eventually it all puts a check on it

In this moment

I watch everything burn

I get away from this

Inside I feel it all

In this moment

It knocks me down to the floor

Is it too late now to break my fall?

Emancipate

I feel the need to separate this

All that's within to hold

Cast away

I'm left to feel this dereliction

No way I can face this all

Far across, so far across

(Where the mind may go)

The distance that the mind may go to

I'm lost

Hoping I could find a way to reach out

Finally find a little piece of myself

Alone in this tiny shell

Alone, I try and face this cold wind

I hear shadows whisper my name

And now that I found

The illusions strewn across all around the ground

And I finally found this piece of me, it stays with me

I'm not afraid

And I finally found this piece worth holding on to

I feel my truth flow right through me

I'm not afraid

I lie awake, I'm here awake

I've found all of myself

I know, now I know

All of myself and my truth
