[Verse 1: Rustage]

I did not hope for forgiveness, I live for the hope that I'll see you again

Now that I'm plagued with this sickness, stitching my time like a needle and thread

I know my morals been shifted, all of my life is a means to an end

I know your image is twisted my story's been told, and I'm reading the dead

We gotta live with mistakes and decisions

I don't need the book, but the way that it's written

We're not Shinobis, we're slaves to a system

They tell us a lie that we're making a difference

There is no changing the fate that we're given

I harden my heart, but there's stains in my vision

Spilling their blood before making them listen

I do what I must, and I'm breaking traditions

'Cause I paint it crimson, gone in an instance

Life is war, but I deal with the symptoms

On the floor, now they fell to extinction

Nothing more than to help with the mission

I've been drowning in the burdens of commitment

Hoping there's a purpose to existence

There is no returning for the victims

Now I'm just a person in the distance


[Pre-Chorus: Johnald]

I know you feel all the pain I've caused

But you don't have to worry anymore

I feel the breeze of a time long gone

And I know it's difficult to close the door


[Chorus: Johnald]

But time can't go backwards

You're just gotta keep on

Pushing on and succeed

Though you and I were fractured

It won't matter 'cause I've

Given all of me

So don't cry

When I leave

I'll forever be

Within your eyes

Though I am free

I have fallen from grace this time


[Verse 2: Rustage]

Fallen from grace, I'm in a watering grave

Thought we were saved

I got no justice for all of this pain

Time passes by, but it's more of the same

Left behind with no mortal remains

Let it die as we walk to the grave

In my mind like an audiotape

Given time, it all falls into place

See, I'm sorry for the path that I have chosen

Unravelled through the tapestry I've woven

Strange how nothing mattered in the moment

Now, the ties of family are broken

Change the fact the plan is put in motion

Now, they acting angry with the postman

Numb my heart to handle my emotions

Knowing that the damage is an omen

We change, but our methods are shallow

Betrayed, and then sent to the gallows

Though I had a life, made the sacrifice

Seek fame, I protect in the shadows

We prayed to a heavenly body

Laid down a path of mistakes in my folly

Keep safe 'cause I'm making them worry

Maybe next time I can say that I'm sorry


[Chorus: Johnald]

But time can't go backwards

You're just gotta keep on

Pushing on and succeed

Though you and I were fractured

It won't matter 'cause I've

Given all of me

So don't cry

When I leave

I'll forever be

Within your eyes

Though I am free

I have fallen from grace this time


[Bridge: Rustage]

Even 'fore there was blood it was too late for regrets

In the night, I was gone, what can you say to the dead?

I don't mind being shunned, now that my tears run red

Guess it's all out of love now, you're the only one left


[Pre-Chorus: Johnald]

I know you feel all the pain I've caused

But you don't have to worry anymore

I feel the breeze of a time long gone

And I know it's difficult to close the door


[Chorus: Johnald]

But time can't go backwards

You're just gotta keep on

Pushing on and succeed

Though you and I were fractured

It won't matter 'cause I've

Given all of me

So don't cry

When I leave

I'll forever be

Within your eyes

Though I am free

I have fallen from grace this time
