lyrics
Just like beasts in the night hoping to devour my sight.
Forcing words on the page but they never seem to mean what they say.
Being tangled and stretched as each piece starts to formulate.
Are my efforts and struggles in vain?
I can scream in the face of this thief...
But he's screaming back at me.
I keep feeding the flames day by day, but they just won't burn.
If I rewrite myself, will the passion give its full return?
There's power in fear 'til it shatters away, leaving every broken dream.
Each verse is a shallow grave but they won't swallow everything.
This too shall pass.
Let the ashes cleanse everything.
This too shall pass.
Let the ashes take everything.
They're possessing my thoughts with simple fear of failure.
It stings as they grip my throat; my words choke.
I keep feeding the flames day by day, but they just won't burn.
If I rewrite myself, will the passion give its full return?
There's power in fear 'til it shatters away, leaving every broken dream.
Each verse is a shallow grave but they won't swallow everything.
As dark as the midnight sky, when my words still won't seem to comply.
Just hollowed out thoughts wrapped in beautiful music.
If I can just bleed through this pen and at least scratch the surface within...
The pain will subside and the dawn will begin.
This too shall pass.
For the fire births everything.
This too shall pass.
From the ashes take everything.
