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

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
