Catharsis

Of a life whose weight we bear

Of a life whose tomb we unearth

Of a life we mistake for another

Of a life we once served as a martyr

In the abyss of the deepest depths

Where light is like quicksand, it creeps and traps

Imprisoned within our own walls

Abandoned to the echoes of our own falls (of our own falls)

Delusions, easy to be deceived

A net of meanders they weave

These sweet memories (memories)

Once an enjoyable embrace (embrace)

Now a suffocating agony

Of a love we can never replace

Leave me be (leave me be)

Leave me fucking be

Leave me be

You who haunt my fantasies

Flee from me

You who drain my soul with ease

(Blegh)

Time, like a forbidden fruit

Unforgiving, unyielding, it pursues

It engulfs and swallows (and swallows)

The once affable, now hollow

I will no longer be a ghost

Of my existence, but the host

With this balm, I'll heal

My humble essence, so surreal

Break free from your chains

That dictate every scene

Links of a life

That never seem to come undone (to come undone)

Break free from your chains

That drag me to my demise

Links of a life

That I no longer prize

From a wild, unbridled soul (unbridled soul)

A fervent, tempestuous mind (tempestuous mind)

From an inspiration beyond control

A radiant salvation one finds

A radiant salvation one finds

To the common lot, one must return

Empty, cleansed of his pains

Marked by scars that time cannot spurn

Forsaken of his hateful strains

Cleansed of his pains (cleansed of his pains)

Forsaken of his hateful strains

From a sea of shivers, the waves respond in kind

Their undulations wild, their rhythms intertwined

Passion set free, fervor unbridled

A new world beckons, a challenge untried

Amidst these lunatics, seek the rightful place

Harness the strength, and find the pace

Choose the cards, and play with the grace

Become the ace, the victor in race

Break free from your chains

That dictate every scene

Links of a life

That never seem to come undone (to come undone)

Break free from your chains

That drag me to my demise

Links of a life

That I no longer prize

(No longer prize)

With a lingering taste of freedom

That I'll never forget

Catharsis

With a lingering taste of freedom

That I almost gave up
