THE TIME HAS COME… WE’RE COMING FOR YOU… LIKE A TOWN FULL OF RELICS OF MYSELF FEARFUL OR LESS IN A SEA OF RAIN I KNOW, WE ALL KNOW, AND SO IT GOES THE OLD RULE OF THOUGHT IS FLAWED TO THE CORE AND IT’S BEEN SO LONG I HELD IT DOWN AND THE DEVIL STANDS UP THE MASSES HE SAYS…. “FOLLOW THAT MAN TO THE PIT OF HELL.” DOWN TO THE RIVER, ABSOLVE YOURSELF. WASH AWAY YOUR SINS NOW START AGAIN IT’S COMPLICATED AND EXAGGERATED I’M CALLING ON YOU SO LET IT GO IT’S HARD TO (TOO) ACCEPT THE TRUTH OH, WELL.

I’M PICKING UP MOMENTUM IN THE FALL IT’S A LONG, LONG WAY I HIT THE GROUND AND TAKE A BREATH TIME TO FIX IT ALL I STOP, CHECK BACK, AND GET IN LINE OH MY… GOING THIS ALONE NOW THAT’S THE LINE I’VE HEARD A LOT IN TIME WE LEARN TO DOUBT OUTRIGHT THEN AGAIN WE FIGHT TO STAY ALIVE LOSE YOUR FAITH AND IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES

HE STANDS IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM WAY BEYOND HIS MIND HIS THOUGHTS, THEY MASTERMIND THE SUM TEARS HIM APART AND THE SUN AND THE MOON DON’T TALK TO EACH OTHER THEY USE SIMPLE MOTIONS THAT SPEAK TO ANOTHER TO WARM UP HIS SKIN AND STARE AT NOTHING IT’S THE LAST TIME YOU’LL BE APART OH, THERE IS SOMETHING IN HIS HEART BLOOD FLOWS THROUGH HIS VEINS LIKE A CURRENT OF THOUGHT THEN HE FORGETS HIS NAME HE’S LOST IT AGAIN TOO MANY TIMES HE’S TRIED TO SAY… SOMETHING PROFOUND TO CAST AWAY ALL OF THE DOUBTS THEN HE STANDS UP TODAY AMONGST THE SIGHT AND SOUNDS AND TRIES TO FIND A WAY TO CARRY ON
