FRAILTY
All the secrets laid bare
For all to lay to waste
Judge us not lest you be judged
When you stand at your grave
Piece by piece, trail by fire
Locked in a battle of wills
With myself by myself
But broken hearts beating still
Taste your tears as they turn to stone
As we gather in this garden of death
Cast another page unto the bones
As the storm drowns all the flames we wept
Stare into the mirror
The heart of the abyss
Is reflected in your eyes
Decayed where lovers kiss
A piece of peace gone so wrong
What is the price to be paid
For an unlabored breath?
Resolve is starting to wane
Taste your tears as they turn to stone
As we gather in this garden of death
Cast another page unto the bones
As the storm drowns all the flames we wept
Smell of fear growing in the night
I would rather believe lies than the truth
Remains uncovering mourning light
The only thing I cannot have is you
frailty
IN THESE HANDS
frailty
IN THIS HEART
frailty
BECOMING ME

Smell of fear growing in the night
I would rather believe lies than the truth
Remains uncovering mourning light
The only thing I cannot have is you
