- Awake

 

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 wide open
My body's floating down the river
This live
What have I confined you for?
It's all inside
It's all in silence

When the raven gets its way
A million thoughts are swept away
And then you leave it all
You 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 to 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
