The banks of liquid eyes white
Reach forward
Now is here
Yet so far away
It's on days like today
When I get stuck
When the roots of oblivion
Claw their way inside
The mental dust blinds and chokes me
I wanna cut through blood
Thick like stone
Flood of images
Racing towards me
Bringing back
A moment from another time
I stand on Earth hard as iron
I wear the hands of another man
Pieces of flesh that were once my friends
Rotting away to feed someone's greed
There's a grim hole inside my chest
All breaths feel like daggers
Nothing can contain the waves
Of an inverted ocean
In that bleak cold morning
The sun didn't feel like rising
On this Earth hard as iron
The drifting blood drowned my virtues
In this bleak cold morning
The edge of ache cut me like a hacksaw
All breaths felt like daggers
I kept walking with my heart carved out
On this Earth hard as iron
I still stood stronger than death
I looked up and said to the fading stars
Take me back
This wound is now just a scar
