Unfamiliar

(album: The Death We Seek - 2023)

Reflections of violent shadows follow me for life
Never gave into foolishness but suddenly you're wrong
What you want, I can't offer, even now, on this throne
Set a course for a new life where each day's another disaster
Now we're forced to reveal it for ourselves

It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that's always been)
Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track we've all forgotten

We're counting down
The further we descend now, we tangle the web
Compounding our torn existence
Sick and twisted, drowning in darkened thoughts of a life we're all born to squander
Slow now, the hate sets on like a father scorns desponded sons

If there is any way out, we'll find it

It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that's always been)
Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track we've all forgotten (complacency)

It's not hard to get lost
It's not hard to get lost

It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that's always been)
Save a life at what cost? Now we're on a track we've all forgotten (extinction)

The way I'd seen it, we were in control
But it's just not the way this works
It's not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar
A path that's always been
Take a bow for the long forgotten
