Ancient Scars

Awake from a daydream, whispers break from underneath
Are they his consciousness relaying back within his ear?
That sinking feeling draws him in from incomplete
The air is thin as he begins to craft his offering
In comes the thought:
“Do I exist Just to perpetuate a myth?”
It was the saddest thing to feel
He won’t live on in your memory reel
Unless he leaves something behind
What if he can’t make up the time
Just like the ancient scars reveal
He won’t live on in the history reel
Awake in the hazy night with whispers in his ear
Telling him to step outside, lay down the plan and build for me
How can it be that he lived all his life without this experience?
The sun would rise and it would shine upon his crude bare work

The sin has filled the room I loved the way we’d use
But this was not the same
Abuse With Worn out glances,
And the calmest calamity
Those eyes; they whisper my demise
We keep holding up this same toxic routine
Picking apart each others lives
We'd both walk up the same excess road
Only to find out what we’ve both known this whole time
So are we gonna leave it this way?
Where we bottle shit up and it explodes on the stage
I thought you didn’t believe in this game
As we detach from each other you say
What a horrible thing we did today
So obsessive sitting by the dotted line
As you’d even pass the time
With a sick sorry soul like mine
If I confess little memory exists
Of when we beseeched each others minds
I hope the rest would leave my head tonight
So are we gonna waste our time again?
Are we gonna blur all of these lines again?
If sex is just a game, if its just a role you play,
To get you through dark days then who am I to even complain?

So now we’re two years on I still often wonder
Where do we go from here
The rush; of anything for love
But only til we fall apart
Two years that somber song
With no sweet resolve yeah
Where do we go?
Is there an outcome?
We keep repeating the sequence again
Come on come through and see what lays here behind
Come on and see the other side
So easily trapped in
Your one track mind, yeah.
Come on come through and wipe the tears from your eyes
I wanna see you dance tonight
Cause the tighter you cling to these mistakes
The further you’ll drift away
So now we’re three years on I still live the same amongst the mountains of the things that I would change
Its fine its fine, I consciously tell that lie
Three, four five times a night
Each day I’m fostering a brand new taste and if I wanted to I could walk away
All of my days, looking into a mirror that would avert its own eyes From my very own gaze
And it’s the glimmer of the light (I know you will)
Locate the inner soul tonight (I know you will)
I know its not forgotten; but deeper inside
I know that it will find you and brighten your life
I know that there is love inside
When you shed all of your pride
Just say it ain’t so amidst the lapse the burden seeks to take control

What hasn’t been lost was not so much found much more laden with costs he could never pay
So along to the wayside the hidden enchantment inside of him
Build another bridge, you’ll get over this
Things seemed so fine behind movie screens
To hell with everything the words she would choke out upon stepping in that cab
He made a huge mistake coming here today
Grace fought in fairytales tell us who saves the day?
Who forgives our mistakes and lets us feel okay?
What was never found was only the freedom of finding out
What sort of deal is his life about when he opens his eyes
The foundation paved between two strangers
One lost, one divinity
To hell with everything the words that stumbled out as he stood back, laughed and ran
You’ve got to get him out of here
You’ve got to free his soul my dear (cause he’s found you out)
You've got to get him out of here
You've got to free his soul my dear (cause he’s found you out)

Is it here that the truth does transpire?
Or is it where I
Chase my desires?
In the midst of the bountiful garden
My heart grew hardened
What is this disease I've succumbed to
After all, all I know is I was never on my own all along
I once swore that I would not remain a shadow onto the world
But alas the soul escapes In the callousness of giving in
Take these pills forfeiting will from irresponsible hands
The youth you seek to replenish has disappeared and I can’t carry you no further we must stop here
I don’t know what I don’t want to know anymore
The youth you seek to replenish has disappeared and I can’t carry you no further we must stop here
In your private fucking hell,
oh But alas a head entrenched in
Bitter memories
The soul escapes In search for remedy
It will ascend to
The pearly gates
Where they would tell it
You're never getting in
Behind this life of thrills
Lies an ending not so grand
We have to have it still
It is what separates the man
From the piano key
He couldn’t fit into the plan
Is this the end of the story?
Or is it a retelling

The Retelling
03:47

Fade in, fade out
Of so called eternal love
He became only an echo
To what he thought to be above
Asked of him to build for God
It was his shadow
He was quite perplexed by this
He went his own way
But wasn’t he always?
He lived these two lives
Between obey and command
Talking to himself he nods
They don’t understand
He went and cut his losses
He is but one man imagination had
Him stuck in his ways
No attention he pays
He wonders now who''s left to blame
If he dug this hole with his own two hands
Could he find his way back out again?
They emerge from walls to his brain
Delicately laugh at his pain
Does he deserve to be tormented by cries so loud yet still in vain
Eager eyes
And a desperate tongue
Forced himself to fall in love
With anyone
A recovering addict
Blessed with loving too much
Holding out that something new
Would come his way
Why won’t this feeling stay
No words to say
Is this how the story plays
