lyrics

Life and all it’s consequences are crashing down around me
Separation from the ones that I used to love
Distances so great that even no god could traverse it in time to save the life of what once was such a huge part of my mistaken identity

-I am the great divider bringing life into the space between moments in time where you can’t figure out just who you are

break

break me into millions of pieces just to reform again
what have I become

and how long

how long can i
withstand the weight of this world on my shoulders
my sacrifice
has left me broken alone and forgotten

life has wrought devastation on my family ties
it’s like they’re blind
unwilling to see what I have made and what I seek to become
in this life

break

how long must i
withstand the burden placed upon me
selfish desires

for yourself no remorse for the crimes that
you committed against a man
so lost in himself he cannot stand
withered away have those bonds we shared
never to reform again
