Lyrics

All eyes reading

All attention is focused on you

Cowardice in your conceding

Your surrender is marked by fear

False gods speak in tongues but never truths

Deceptive idols communicate in incomprehensible language, never conveying the truth

Just simply

Simply


Seeing ain’t enough

Mere observation is insufficient

For if you’ve really given up

If you have truly given up, acknowledge it

Own it

Accept responsibility

Naïve to lay the stones

Unawareness in laying the foundation

Forgetting pain’s a way to growth

Forgetting pain is a pathway to personal development, not an excuse

Not an alibi

Not a justification


All I want

Desire for

Is to feel the love you laid aground

To experience the love that has been abandoned

‘cause all that I’ve found is

Because all that has been discovered is

Wasted age and love used

Time wasted and love misused

Permanence and the truth is all I want

Long-lasting love and truth are the only desires


Dreams and plans made

Aspirations and blueprints created

Rubble in the scorched remains

Reduced to debris in the aftermath

Was too blind to see the signs hidden in plain

Blindness to evident signs

Sight and now I know just simply

Now understanding is simply


Being ain’t enough

Existence alone is inadequate

My hands are filthy with the blood

Hands stained with guilt and wrongdoing

Passed from you

Transferred from you

Woven with the blame

Interwoven with blame

If your past knowing is the same

If acknowledging the past is the same

Why did you start?

Why did you initiate?


What happened to the life we made?

Questioning the fate of the life constructed together

Not enough to make you want to stay

Insufficient to inspire you to remain

No, you’d rather vanish from all the frames And burn the rose where it lays

Preferably disappearing from all memories and destroying the symbol of love
