lyrics

So many times it would break my mind
Spend every second to fall behind
Thinking the worst is yet to come
A call of duty to my decline
Sinking and drifting away
A life rotten to the bone

Is it a dream, a fearful slumber
I don't remember the last time I could
Retain, my memories trying to feel
The turmoil that is lost

Reflection in the mirror
I don't recognize this face
Would you regret the one that will fall?
Or is it too late to make it worth?

For all the things that I've done
And all the ones I never did
It's a simple deal that doesn't add up
I'm running out of people to blame

So many times it would break my mind
Spend every second to fall behind
Thinking the worst is yet to come
A call of duty to my decline
Sinking and drifting away
A life rotten to the bone

The temptation of the void
The light that never shone
A dreadful presence, a creeping feeling
Quietly growing by my side

Leave it! And write my farewells
Engulfed by these wicked thoughts
Losing ground after each other battle
And oddly I know how to lift the curse

But once again it’s the same deal, the same way
The same I could wait for the same day
I stand corrected, another failure of my disarray
For the night will keep the pain at bay

So many times it would break my mind
Spend every second to fall behind
Thinking the worst is yet to come
A call of duty to my decline
Sinking and drifting away
A life rotten to the bone

This is some amazing stuff! Atmoblack and pretty in the same sentence? I know, it seems crazy, but Morwinyon successfully does it with this release, and it is rightfully titled as such! Derek
