lyrics

Within a ditch, surrounding ground,
and a moment unforeseen
well I try to escape the bounds,
but the world is binding me
I wondered if you cared at all, that I had nothing left.
As leaves began to fall, the cicadas lost their breath.

And there’s no mistaking, I was forsaken
You took your oath, and crossed your heart,
but seasons are changing,
what sunlight evokes
Formed of things never revealed
time never mends, never heals,
sewn from the thread of regret
this time, this time I’ll never forget

The shore that’s never met the sea,
alone and desolate
always in it’s debt, desperate, it knows of nothing yet

We lucky few, we band of brothers
We took our oath.
born from the ashes of one another
a morning awoke
Scorching things never retrieved
Rain never bringing relief
Torched to the point of regret
This time, I’ll will forget.

So whatever happened to, the promises that we thought we'd see to the end.
and you were always there to brave the sea.
Whatever happened to the promises that were supposed to have set us free
and you were always teaching false beliefs.

Now, when I aim, I aim for the heart
When I aim, I aim for the heart.

I will not fall, I will not fall for this again.

the night is blinding, the silence is deafening
and I feel nothing, and I was forsaken
aiming for something, aiming for anything
When I aim, I aim for the heart
so now when I, I aim for the heart.

(the end of everything)
