Had a taste, caught a glimpse, ran away, ran away

For the sake of the tango between cowardice and fate

What to do, what to say, how to behave

Crawling out from the ruins, for God's sake

Had a taste, caught a glimpse, ran away, ran away

What to do, what to say

It feels so foolishly short sighted

Apparitions taking over body and mind

It feels so foolishly misguided

Fighting for control and losing either way

Vindicated through ruination

Mirrored remnants line the ground

An unnerving frustration

Spirit now enveloped by the clouds

Running from sleep, running from dreams

Can't take the risk of being seen

Running from sleep, running from dreams

Praying to god for something to break

'Cause if it breaks down all the way it can be built back up

It's been done one too many times, grieving the pieces lost

Gaps in between growing farther apart every time I worry

The mind has a knack for cruel trickery

Under all this pressure

Something inside has to give in, give in, give in

Fighting for morsels of mercy, mercy, mercy

Contending with eternal days and the ache of the chains

Doomed to run around in circles drawing maps

And to question any moment of lucid serenity

Contrived faith in weak foundations

What else is there to hold onto?

An illusion so delicate yet it's all that remains

Doomed to run around in circles drawing maps

And to question any moment of lucid serenity

Contrived faith in weak foundations

What else is there to hold onto?

An illusion so delicate yet it's all that remains
