lyrics

I'm not the first one to fall below
Into the cursed underground
But I'm the one who gave them hope
I can't afford to let them down

You placed your soul into my hands
Now all that's left are grains of sand

To my friend and my chaperone
Should've stayed here and made a home
Now you're gone and I'm all alone
Just a kid with a telephone

Could it be that I was wrong?
And is there hope to move along?

Now every night as I lie awake
I've got this fever dream I just can't shake
How did I miss the signs?
I was running blind
Tried to avert my eyes from my worst mistake

I never answer, but I'm aware
of the voices that resonate
I saved no one from despair
In the hopes I could create a legacy
But could it be that none of it belonged to me?

Now every night as I lie awake
I've got this fiendish fever dream
I just can't shake
Have I been here before?
Is there something more
buried within my core?

It fills me with D E T E R M I N A T I O N
But what is in my wake?
Innocent corpses,
I've shown no remorse
Is there some kind of force which
can guide me back into the light?

Because I lost my will to fight
Please tell me you're alright
