Along The Way

I'm thirsty and weary from the heat
As the sands rinse the hands of time
I will suck the venom from your wound
If you will do the same and suck from mine

You and I were ruined by
This desert between us
I walked through the valley
And stared into death

This instance of a distance
Designed to defeat us
And still her face I can't seem to forget

The war you wage
Forever the life that you pay
Something wrong in you
Comes alive in your veins

Lose yourself in some kind of Hell
A new version of where you are now
Truth's unveiled
You'll never ever get out

At a glance
Sudden avalanche
Suffocates me within
Gasping for air I can't breathe

Paralyzed
I've been sterilized
And cleansed of my sin
In a state of suspending belief

Somewhere along the way
Time changes everything
We all disintegrate
It's running out

Somewhere along the way
Time changes everything
We all disintegrate
It's running out

Taunted by time
Imposing its certainty
Absolute always
Stopping for nothing
This race cannot be won

Some days it crawls
While other days it flies
It feeds on our flaws
And knows no compromise
Inevitable rise of the sun
What have I become

Somewhere along the way
Time changes everything
We all disintegrate
It's running out

The war you wage
Somewhere along the way
It's running out
