Man down
This hardened shell
is broken
My fate
is bound to what I've done
Regrets
I shuffle down the hallway
Precious time
it's all gone overboard
Here is your calm down
Here is your
calm down pill
I'll never be the same
It'll never be the same
With eyes open
my body's floating
down the river
This life
what have I
confined you for
it's all inside
it's all in silence
And when the reaper
gets its way
a million thoughts
are swept away
and then you leave it all
leave it all behind
And maybe next time
we'll meet again
and maybe I'll be less
of a bitter man
when I feel more
I refuse to pay
the ferryman
I'm so attached
to my temple
He has to burn it down
to get me
Ebony demon
shriek all you want
I'm not tagging along
The shade
the burning blackness
it is my protector
Fear before the fall
I can't grasp it all
but at least I'm trying
A light
a smoldering cinder
getting colder ashen
and letting all this go
I'm not letting go
I'm not really done here
I won't let
I won't let go
Life's too short
to be wrong
and maybe next time
we'll meet again
and maybe I'll be less
of a bitter man
and if I could do it
all over again
I'd be the same man
all over again
when I feel more
