I’VE FELT MY WORLD SHAKE BENEATH MY FEET TREMBLING FROM THE CHAOS I’VE SPUN A LACK OF CONTROL TO SORT MY ISSUES AND TO QUELL MY FEARS AND EASE THE BITING IN MY STOMACH I’VE KNOWN THE CAUSE THE PAIN THE TIME THE FRAME AND YET THESE MERELY ECHO I NEVER THOUGHT I’D FIND MYSELF AGAIN STANDING TALL DRUMMING OUT THE PLAGUE SEETHING IN MY HEAD SO FAR IN THE DISTANCE I CAN SEE THE LITTLE REMNANTS OF WHAT I USED TO BE AND IN THE EYES OF SUBTLETY I’VE TAKE MY TIME I’VE FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH EVERY PLAN I’VE MADE TO BETTER MY OWN SO THE STORY GOES I’VE SEEN THE ENVY OF DESIRES SO DARK AND STILL I’LL STAND CLEAR OF THE FIRES AND FREE OF THE SILT THAT TAINTED SKIN I’VE BANGED MY HEAD ON WALLS I’VE BUILT STEMMED THE FLOW OF THE BLOOD I’VE SPILT THESE ARE OUR LAST WORDS SPOKEN TO THE MAN I NO LONGER WISH TO BE I’VE SHED THOSE BURDENS THE SCARS AND MARKS BEEN LEFT NO DESIRE TO SEE THE SUN FADE ON WHAT I’VE FOUND THIS TIME IT’S NIGHTS LIKE THESE WHEN HOPE MUST SHINE
