The Eternal Facade

Wicked things Feel close behind And my mind's sanity Is peeling, suddenly With madness now a whisper Slowly crawling through my skin My soul begins to blister My fate has settled in Trapped alive Let me out It almost all feels a lie Like my fate is twisted We burned the flame to feel the light But the shadows shifted In the end it's all just time All the ash has fallen And through the tale of our lives We all learn to see it All hope's a fine line So I let it breath And step back from all the sorrows I try to see What we're all meant here for Why we're all bleeding My heart has to know What do I believe in Is there something more What really matters Even the nihilists Deserve some answers Just tell me I need to know All the countless wasted thoughts All descending to the deep My paradigm begins to center With the strength to dethrone kings While their bones return to dust And get swallowed by the sea The sun begins to burn and burn Exposing everything All the pain I felt All the heartaches And the demons facing me I held all the power I control my destiny It almost all feels a lie Like my fate is twisted We burned the flame to feel the light But the shadows shifted In the end it's all just time All the ash has fallen And through the tale of our lives We all learn to see it I'm all alone By the fire searching I created my own soul Whoa whoa whoa The end is coming Time will fade away Wash away the dust So it can all begin again
