From Gold To Gray

(album: Weight Of The False Self - 2020)

Oh, I don't want your pity
Won't bargain for my soul
Not another form with reason fled
Can't be another object of dread
Each for himself must carve a path
While wretched life imposes wrath
Through tangled webs that leave us worn
Into crowded graves to be ignored

Life is cold enough
I won't be frozen in the memories
Life is cold enough
Cold enough for me to remain

From gold to gray, nothing stays
We live amidst the soundless storms of decay
(Life is cold enough)
From gold to gray, nothing stays
You leave a footprint whether you wait or walk away

Someone always wants to make it worse
The slumbering soul whose words are cursed
Time is fleeting, we're always reminded
Still we labor, willfully blinded
Reality is cold, my mind is colder
Biding my time until it's truly over
Frozen still, our hearts will yearn
Enter the fray to dust return

Life is cold enough
I won't be frozen in the memories
Life is cold enough
Cold enough for me to remain

From gold to gray, nothing stays
We live amidst the soundless storms of decay
(Life is cold enough)
From gold to gray, nothing stays
You leave a footprint whether you wait or walk away

Enter the fray

One foot in the gold, one foot in the gray
Some will learn it'll be too late
The fortunes of time unable to change
Left to our own dark imaginings

From gold to gray, nothing ever stays
From gold to gray, we enter the fray
Life is cold but my mindset is colder
Enter the fray once it's over
