I searched so long for meaning
In a sea of endless existence
Where is the place I cannot find
Why am I met with so much resistance
Years pass by me like a fog
The sky’s bright color has turned opaque
My life, choices, hopes and ambitions
Have become nothing but constant heartache
(You can) never fulfill that aching hole you’ve dug
(Take and) steal and desert lessons you forgot to drill
(The wound) is exposed when your life is standing still
(He sought) the deepest depths of avarice
(He pulled) on the rope but could not find an end
(His will) infected itself and then others, truly cancerous
I can feel it working itself
Through my damaged and bruised veins
The solution I need, the solution I breathe
Cut off this virus until nothing remains
Inside this broken mirror I gaze on
My tortured self can barely recognize a thing
Remember what we tried to teach, tried to learn
Remember this life’s lessons and the pain it can bring
(You can) never fulfill that aching hole you’ve dug
(Take and) steal and desert lessons you forgot to drill
(The wound) is exposed when your life is standing still
(He sought) the deepest depths of avarice
(He pulled) on the rope but could not find an end
(His will) infected itself and then others, truly cancerous
Resurrect me to power, I am the Lazarus
This chase and desire is no longer greed, it is now my lust
I am blind but I am satisfied
My eyes have been soothed dried
I will take everything this world has to offer
The treasures promise to make my pain ever so softer
They will brighten the light in my heart always getting darker
I am at last ready to find my lost relic
The pinnacle of all my misplaced dreams
Done with slighted insults by smiles so god damn angelic
We will finally see who’s really pathetic
I will eliminate all worthless emotions and replace them with loving, synthetic anesthetics
Rebirthing The Crestfallen
