Callous, relentlessly sharp
Devoid of remorse, it’s drowning out my song
Obscuring the sun, my melody wanes inside the surge
Replaced with frigid volleys of apathetic hail
My notes struck from the record, forever carried off by silver gales
And in the end, the wings of a songless bird will be denied the sky
You’ve lost the words to speak, your only chance has passed you by
And as the sun withdraws forever, the moon becomes the guide
Enchained by hidden tethers, by chance or by design
Vines are slowly twisting, and creeping towards the heart
They siphon all desires and shred our hopes apart
And any recollections held so dear with promised light
Dissolve before my eyes, absorbed with no remorse this dreamless night
A searing flash delivers shattering reform
Brings agony untold, the fire of a thousand solar storms
Why can’t I remember
When I lost it all
Why can’t I remember
How I lost it all
Callous to welcome the fall
Devoid of all color, my world now monochrome
No trace of the sun, no melody left to bring me home
Replaced with boundless silence, and knowledge of the end
A song now long-forgotten, I miss you most of all my dearest friend
And in the end, the wings of a songless bird, will be denied the sky
You’ve lost the words to speak, your only chance has passed you by
And as the sun withdraws forever, the moon becomes the guide
Eroded chains lie severed, by chance or by design
