[Intro]
I'm fed up with the lies
That will get better
Day after day, it never changes
Stuck in the same cycle
Drifting over the edge
Wearing a mask to disguise my reflection
[Verse 1]
Falling, lingering dreams
Buried beneath this blackened soil
Left out to rot without a name
Conceal my face for that it brings me shame
Sever the pieces to put them back together
The amalgamation of all but none
[Chorus]
Day by day, no days ever pass
Frozen in time, breathing this stagnant air
Watching flowers wither as I welcome demise
Blossoming plague that feeds upon all that's in sight
[Post-Chorus]
The absence of all hope begins to take its toll
I feel I'm growing weaker as the days go by
Devoid of purpose, never to feel whole again
Mimicking life just to believe this time
[Verse 2]
Lifeless mannequin, standing tall but hollow still
Crumbling, condemned to nothingness
The greatness vanished long ago
[Chorus]
I will try to make things right this time
Picking up the scattered pieces of my broken heart
Stained by sorrow, sight to see, all that I have lost
The sands of time will bury me, the king has been dethroned
[Post-Chorus]
The absence of all hope begins to take its toll
I feel I'm growing weaker as the days go by
Devoid of purpose, never to feel whole again
Mimicking life just to believe this time
[Bridge]
Retribution for the times I stood still
Waiting for a glimpse of hope to clutch to
Denial perpetrates the shackles
That bind me eternally to this place
[Outro]
Apparitions, laughing at despair
Vile specters, feeding off my past
Apparitions (Apparitions), laughing at despair
Vile specters (Wailing), feeding off my past
Apparitions, laughing at despair
Vile specters, feeding off my past
Apparitions, laughing at despair
Apparitions
