War of Being

In the beginning I was told

That the life in you ran cold

My tears turned to dread

With words of life and death

I was sold a lie

My future in disguise

You chose to be

Deviant

Always deviant

Always desperate

Binding

Debased conscience

Soul mate

Faceless

Now stare into the light

Circling beyond

To never release the grip and pressure

The rising intent

To birth and release

The darkness within

Tear the mask away

Breathe another way

Tear the mask away

To uncomplicate the patterns

That we all feel

Keep the flames at bay

Live another day

Tear the mask away

Facing one another

Now elevate my understanding

My body's fading

Tomorrow came for me

Rushing in and out of me

I want it all

Give me everything now

Tear the mask away

Facing one another

Now elevate my understanding

Elevate my understanding

Don't exacerbate my perception

A hidden sign amidst the cold

A serpent's eye

With grinning teeth beneath it

A cold surprise you won't deny

You pay the price and keep it

I sold a lie amidst the cold

A sudden cry

I sold a lie amidst the cold

Running high

Grit your teeth and bear it

A faint surprise, overtly bold

Stand your ground and mean it

I sold a lie amidst the cold

Running high

I sold a lie amidst the cold

Running high

Grit your teeth and bear it

The words I whispered followed you

They lit a light in you

That you might not have found

To dream of flowing locks untwisted

And auburn eyes glistening as you weep

The words that I whispered

When it all began

Did they shine a light on you

You don't understand?

To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy

And auburn eyes glistening as you weep

Raise your eyes

Notice me

Raise your eyes

Notice me
