It came like subtle dusk But left a stable mark Shadows rushed like river veins An eclipse across the heart And as it spread its venom bled Into the mind it weaves Deny the clear suppress the fear Or a victim you will be Your severed hands are reaching out To claw the cement walls of doubt As we breathe we raise a fatal breed A brain in silent plead To mend the stem of the disease We are what we betray A mask will find a way To hide a soul that is decayed And still it stayed like anchors blade Latched to an entity You ride the waves in hopes to break a pattern into the sea A latent fortress shields a cure with ease This ball and chain paves the way for many lives in need Misery is the price you'll pay For in denial your thoughts will stay As we breathe we raise a fatal breed A brain in silent plead To mend the stem of the disease We are what we betray A mask will find a way To hide a soul that is decayed Again into the blackened woods No path to light the way What I once relied on All turns to grey As we breathe we raise a fatal breed A brain in silent plead To mend the stem of the disease We are what we betray A mask will find a way To hide a soul that is decayed A mask will find a way! To hide a soul that is decayed!
