akera - Paracosmic Annihilation Lyrics

Come drain the life from me
Desperate to siphon away peace
And all for the sake of reaction
So stand on your tall tales
Tigers of paper built so frail
We've burned away all our compassion
To satisfy every distraction
Tell me another story
Fill me with lies
So that my eyes can't see
My soul is weak
I'll write another passage
And tell the world of how my
Eyes went blind
While I'm still hiding away
(While I'm still hiding away)
They say truth
Yeah it sets you free
But it didn't go that way for me
Cause I built on the lies
That I fed myself
Just to get by
I hid from the truth
And it found me
Still lucid
I'm fine with pretending
Tell me another story
Fill me with lies
So that my eyes can't see
My soul is weak
I'll write another passage
And tell the world of how my
Eyes went blind
While I'm still hiding
Away
Till the dream dies
And then reality rips the light
From my eyes
How can I go on pretending
With my reality ending?
If a prison sentence
Still cannot end this
Then what would it take
To make this right?
Cause I keep on breaking
While our hearts are bleeding
Destruction we've seen
A million times
In a different life
I swear
But I can't pretend this time
It's not right
And I'm too tired to play this game
Tell me another story (Take it back)
Fill me with lies
So that my eyes can't see
My soul is weak
I'll write another passage (God, I'm blind)
And tell the world of how my
Eyes went blind
While I'm still hiding away
Till the dream dies
And then reality rips the light
From my eyes
To find
That I'm still breathing
