I tried to remember what happened those days When i saw my reflection though your eyes of the snake It dragged me down the depth of my own Insecurities no release but im at peace and it feels like home Yeah it feels like home Oo I fear of letting go Oo As i watch this all unfold The sea of color swallows me whole Down to the depths of the unknown I look to you in heavens high But in this place there is no time Recollecting the things that ive seen It seemed so real yet it felt like a dream I've come to learn in states of my own Vulnerabilities its time to leave so mother please guide me home Oo I fear of letting go Oo As i watch this all unfold The sea of color swallows me whole Down to the depths of the unknown I look to you in heavens high But in this place there is no time Repeat chorus x2

I didn't know This loneliness could grow In the bottom of my empty heart See i couldn't see The dark inside of me With all the light you brought around And i couldn't hear Your words were so unclear Through the ones you used to bring me down See we were made to plateu Destined not to grow Through all the love you left behind But i still love you baby, from the bottom of my heart And i still need you honey, for everything we are but im so Down down etc. You wouldn't hear, You're mind was caught in fear Of all the worst to come around See i couldn't take This slight divert of fate That Dragged me back to Earth again And i couldnt see Blinded by disease And the words you used to bring me down See we were made to excel But grounded as we fell Though all the love you left behind But i still love you baby, from the bottom of my heart And i still need you honey, for everything we are but im so Down down etc. And i still love you so (With all my heart)

No way but up And out the waves so high You swim as you sing your last goodbyes As you sink Down to the depths of your mind You worked it out You worked it out See the pain set fire to the anger inside You weighed up your options and made up your mind See it all came down to this moment in time You worked it out You worked it out My Consciousness finds a new place to go Oo oo oooooo oooooo oo A darkness to to hide the thoughts i indulge Oo oo oooooo oooooo oo Tonight i strive for the lowest of lows Oo oo oooooo oooooo oo A Gentle goodbye Nothing but darkened clouds fill up my skies You look for a voice to tell you it's fine But its not You wasted all of your time Giving in to the thoughts that kept you up at night See you fed all your demons With the last of your pride You looked for the light While you covered your eyes til you Broke and needed these thoughts to subside You worked this out You worked it out My Consciousness finds a new place to go Oo oo oooooo oooooo oo A darkness to to hide the thoughts i indulge Oo oo oooooo oooooo oo Tonight i strive for the lowest of lows Oo oo oooooo oooooo oo A Gentle goodbye The earth still turns As i leave this all behind The Fear entered your mind and it hijacked the ride Til it won and you had no love inside You worked this out You worked this out

What did i dream as i left your womb Was it structured and chained in the process of youth Will it all be in vain when i reach my tomb Ilforgotten the days of the life i pursued Taken beneath the surface of night Mistakenly followed the wave of the high Becoming irate from the truth of the lie Sedating my mind to forget what is right Forced faith of an idol from a selection of few sovereignty rains as we cry in the pews Screaming their gospel of lies and abuse To avoid separate choice with the same resolute Watching in silence as hearts turn to stone Bemused in a system of credit and loans Dragged by the strings of vindictive crones For the favor of rich and destruction of hope Breaking your bread while you leave us for dead Out of sight Succumb to the terms of our world And step back in line Sewing you're seeds of deceit Are you out of your mind Welcome to the age of today Where the sun doesn't shine

Through your eyes all you see is gray And yet i still plead with you to stay I know this may never to away You live to see another lonely day Deterioration of body and mind But just take another drink you'll be fine I hope you find the truth in time And there peace you will find Ive spent all this time pushing this aside As fear can be blind So i try I try to speak my mind Pic the pain i see inside Of your soul The love that you hold Don't let the fear take hold Through your lies you've led me astray, Guarded by pride, You pushed me away, Its hard to see you in this state You wasted time And now you're running late. Anhebriation takes its toll on the mind But just make another excuse you'll be fine I know that theres no point in trying Your stuck in the low And live for the high Ive spent all this time pushing this aside As fear can be blind So i try I try to speak my mind Pic the pain i see inside Of your soul The love that you hold Don't let the fear take hold

Walking alone watching your life She said don't lose your mind As she stands there alone To watch by your side Down from your throne Still fucking high Drifting through time As your thoughts bring you down To crush you at night And i know its all state of mind Just don't look too long she said Remember the truths and don't trust the lies Seeking for answers that you'll never find Noone will know for sure Enjoy who you are And don't waste your time Take a sip expand your mind To explore and a new space at the edge of time And i in down in a sense of my Last chance to end this life Grounded by fear Guided by light Color so bright As the world starts to hum And fade into night Shot from the earth With return out of sight Don't even try As your mind starts to run To the shapes in your sight And i know its all state of mind Just come back as one she said As touches your back and cries by your side Love is the answer you'll never find We are all one they said Remember the cause and don't sweat the ride
