Dissonance

(album: Fury By Failure - 2020)

There's something about that way
Light scatters through the surface of water
The way it breaks through the darkened depths
Guiding everything but me
As the sickness takes its toll
I'm the coward, somewhere on the road
Feeding doubt, far from home
The grey is overtaking me

It'd be so much easier to expect the worst
To expect the light at the end of everything
To just disappear cause my solace is shattered
I woke up to the haze, a bleak reality

Fall to my knees with palms to the sky
But the truth is...

Shards of glass could greet my face, and I wouldn't feel a thing
The waves could take my lungs, and I, and I won't fear what it brings
Guide my way through the fray, guide me through the fray
Stain the pavement with the last of my faith

I'm fading out
Too afraid to face the truth revealed
I've lost my grip
Can't bare to think of a loss so dear
I'm losing touch
With what could be real
I've lost myself again and again
So my God, this is my cry to You

Fall to my knees with palms to the sky
Am I ready to embrace this part of life?
Cause the truth is...

Shards of glass could greet my face, and I wouldn't feel a thing
The waves could take my lungs, and I, and I won't fear what it brings
Guide my way through the fray, guide me through the fray
Stain the pavement with the last of my faith

What will be left of this when I know I'll break time and time again?
There must be more, why can't I see it
Searching for oxygen to restore my peace, restore my peace again
I can't hear your words, but I still believe them
I just don't have the faith to believe that there's nothing to this mess
There must be more, why can't I see it
Even as time wears thin and my vision dims, I'll seek the evidence
I can't hear your words, but I still believe them
