lyrics

I am alive!
Those whom I cared for
Have passed
Into the realm of shadows
Only to be seen through fastened perception

She awaits on opposite side of the concrete barrier
Faint light pierces the dark
In her hand a piece parchment
"i wonder if he'll get the message"
Not a soul for weeks
Naught but his mortified shrieks
Eyes twitching, hands steady
She is his only solace


Words of an outside world.
Of a love that she relinquished
Words like hymns, drowning in a sea of regret
The Architect is silent
He begins to explain
The last memory remains
Of the salt air against his face

He explains, drowning his sorrow in exposition
There are no words adequate enough to color the lines that divide our conditions.


I lament on the framework of my character
"Why?!
Oh why was I never content with the family I had come to know."

I am alive!

"there is this one last moment
Fleeting before the rocks... "
A memory stained with the blood of his thoughts
"... I remember the feel of sand beneath my feet
The subtle roar and eventual collapse of the sea
Their faces frozen in this moment like a picture frame"
The thoughts rising now perpetual, to spark the flame
"My what a sight it was
I wish I could change the past"
Now he finally accepts and prepares for the task

"It is all too clear
What I must do to get out of here"

"Why must it have to be this way?
I accede : i am to blame"
Their faces now wet with regret
As he solemnly ties the noose around his neck
"Why must it have to be this way?
There is no one left to blame"
"I thank you for your kindness"
"I thank you for giving me your best"
"it doesn't have to be this way"
"I am ready for my final rest"
