Senescence 04:32
I'm sorry baby you know I tried you may think different not eye to eye I'm not a bad man I did my best but you never spoke up and I did the rest on a beach where I laid you down waves were crashing all around we were staring in moonlight feeling the touch of the ground breathless sound the bitter winters and the crushing falls the distant springtime but through it all we had those summers we had those days but the seasons started changing and we went our separate ways on a beach where I laid you down waves were crashing all around we were staring in moonlight feeling the touch of the ground breathless sound I know I probably should have called you I know you wanted more from me but I wasn't up for losing treading carefully I know I probably should have told you what we were here for but how do you say you're a means to an end without saying saying you were a whore and now it's over and it's time to go I'll pack my things and I'll hit the road I'm not a bad man I did my best but you never woke up and I did the rest on a beach where I laid you down waves were crashing all around we were staring in moonlight feeling the touch of the ground breathless sound on a beach where I fucked you now the last time I'll come around we were staring in moonlight feeling the touch of the ground breathless sound

I'm here for my confession and I know it's been a while and my sins can't be forgiven but I'm not the one on trial this time I know my fault overload and I know I can do better even you can see I'm right building armies from your armies that are falling in the night the unknown roads I tread the marching in my head the nightmares come instead the marching of the dead too late discarded ignite start again it's a delicate procedure adding pieces one by one a hate abomination - I'll control you when I'm done the unknown roads I tread the marching in my head the nightmares come instead my vision dressed in red the unknown roads I tread the marching in my head the nightmares come instead the marching of the dead tattered thread poison fed crust of bread so I bled fine come inside Frankenstein too alive to survive it grows relentless control all gone and now the moment you've been waiting a confession through the lie no one's ever really living and the guilty never ever die the unknown roads I tread the marching in my head the nightmares come instead my vision dressed in red the unknown roads I tread the marching in my head the nightmares come instead the marching of the dead

and now you stare into the sun and burn your eyes away then blame the ones who came before the power in your blood could fuel this precious child it has its fill yet it asks for more I have found a way to breathe in fire to live on in ember, to inspire speak the words and watch them march in time the secret of fire is in your mind crying out in pain but no one helps her this drug tastes better than you knew suffering the weight of burning children the blackened poison of the far and few I have found a way to breathe in fire to live on in ember, to inspire speak the words and watch them march in time the secret of fire is in your mind (bridge) tying up your hands and churn the waters elected questions no one cared you never think to check or look around behind you hung the noose that lies around your neck I have found a way to breathe in fire to live on in ember, to inspire speak the words and watch them march in time the secret of fire is in your mind fire in your mind fire in your mind fire
