Ultimata

Terror creeps like a hurricane Oppressing the seas, trying to sink my vessel Powerless to the crippling wake Pull me in and destroy my faith With my liquid lungs, I can breathe Free of broken memories that keep holding on Contemplating love you spent only to feel alone I feel alone Love you spent only to feel alone Still holding on A hollow heart holds no peace Can we forgive and forget, receive and protect When we carry our prisons in our heads? Carve my legacy into the stone For my light can only burn so long But before I go, my brimstone bones Will smolder all my fears of the unknown Free of broken memories that keep holding on Contemplating love you spent only to feel alone I feel alone Love you spent only to feel alone And no strength to let it go In my wishing well, where all my words turn to stone Speak to me through grit teeth; a broken soul And a heart that wants to take control Who's to say whether we should drift? I can feel you slipping away Shadows unfamiliar to me Dance around the walls of the most familiar places Now I've become a stranger in my own home I'd fall asleep with you next to me, now every day I wake alone Shadows of strangers compose themselves reluctantly How can you confront your fears when they stand back to back? Trust in a disconnect to make the pieces fit, oh Shadows of strangers Shadows of strangers Hope you left behind Home is undefined Hope you left behind Home is undefined --- Ultimata - Erra
