Sixteen years of thinking and what did I find?
That I'm still dwelling on what's been made of you,
The last light to shine upon your face,
A poisoned body, time's gradual decay
I've cried a thousand tears but now my eyes run dry
And I'll believe in your afterlife the day salvation lies in a fucking box
I have awakened to the fact that through loss I have gained
I have awakened to the fact that this mind is all I have
What purpose did your suffering serve, my guess it's just a lesson learned
Well I've been learning about your righteous god,
But I've seen nothing but violent misery
And I've been searching for a brighter side but empty handed, I've come up short
I have awakened to the fact
That I've got so much left to say but I don't think my words can cut through the dirt
And with a mouth sewn fucking shut, there'd be no answer
Not a fucking thing
Another day, the further you fall from me
Once a brother, now just a memory
Broken, I pick up the pieces of a life I must endure
Alone
