lyrics

My clocks are spinning so fast
Where have you gone?
Useless tools to build me
I’ve lost
The sky is endless
You’re round
You’re lost
I’m found through the haze of infinity
Your cowardice has infected me
These possibilities mean nothing
Just debt
Just stagnation
These faults are yours
The future is clay
Sculpt it
Let not my death be in vein

I’m hardening
Can’t feel a thing
I’m paralyzed
By the choices you gave
Your grand fear is keeping you here
Your child has done his job

My betrayal suffocates me
Asphyxiation by fear

This wasn’t easy for me
Remember everything we went through
You fetishize your past before you grow
Before you know
Your future was always a dream

I am the catalyst for your self-hate
I am the fire inside that motivates
I have failed
My illusion – thinly veiled
But I continue
More things to destroy me, I include
I hate what you went through
I hate what you left me
I hate what you were
I hate what I’ve become
I hate what you went through
I hate what you left me
I hate what you were
I hate what I’ve become
