Ultimata

(album: Neon - 2018)

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 everyday 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
