lyrics

Product of my own demise I see you in the mirror
That easy going, lightly flowing life ain't hard to steer
Somewhere someone took something from you, something you miss
And now you ride the highline through your cluttered consciousness

Sit me down and ask me why I talk before I think
It must be all the living just comes walking over me
You spend your whole life looking for a reason to believe
You spend your whole life praying just to end up on your knees

Nightfall brings the shadows that dissolve in disarray
But when it comes the morning you'll be lonesome all the same
And every misdirection is a chance to break away
Though time won't lend forgiveness unless you learn from your mistakes

See a darkness in the heart of every man that's come to age
It leaves a sadness blunt and savage on the land it's come to plague
A beauty so unfounded it has grounded me in shame
Is now left to ooze and fester in it's hunger to remain

And you and I lie selfish in our restless energies
Crawling through the jungle of cemented sensory
And if I die tomorrow, send a message of relief
Time will lend forgiveness at the end of everything
