Fleeting Vigilance

(Album: The Banished Heart - 2018)

I'm lying awake
Trembling on the inside
Forsaken, forlorn...
Love will not come for me
It cannot find where I lay
Inside, I'm dying

Liar...
Liar, manipulator
Corroding from within
You watch as I die inside
Neglect is the greatest sin

Can you see at all
Past this lecherousness?
Do you feel the fall?
Here comes the reckoning
Are you chasing?
Or are you running from?
Your own feelings of what's been done

Here comes more, of the same
Of what's been lost and what remains

Where does this end... time only corrodes...
I am anger incarnate and I will drag us down in flames
Wait for it... words never told...
I am warped from all of this, with lingering hope and staggered breath

Fortresses built on the shores of two broken souls
Fortresses now found in flames of all that's left untold

Where does this end... time only corrodes...
I am warped from all of this, with lingering hope and staggered breath
Wait for it... words never told...
I am anger incarnate...

Fortresses built on the shores of two broken souls
I am warped from all of this, with lingering hope and staggered breath
Fortresses now found in flames of all that's left untold
I am anger incarnate and I will drag us down in flames
