lyrics

This is a declaration
This is a testimony
An obituary born of decay
This is a departure from the gray

This is my catharsis

Forgot I chose to live out my
Life a method actor
Became a character
Lost in comforting lies
Too deep to realise
The numbness is what I despise

Nothing could be finer
A life in A-minor
Grey scale just seems kinder
Pharmaceutical veil
Daylight is for sale
If I don't try then I can't fail

Give up the ghost of a man you never met
Haunted by all of this hope
Scatter the ashes in a place you won't forget
Nothing is on his headstone

Raise your weary head
From this light we departed

Hold on
I'm just not me without my medicine
Come down
If I get worse will it fix me again?
Hold on
I can't pretend without my medicine
Come down
If I forget my lines will I come back again?

No recompense, no relief
Golem wrought from Clay of grief
Suspended disbelief
Substitute absolution
Disregard dissolution
Preside over my execution

My own chain around my neck
No choice but accept
Broken parts don’t intersect
Take ahold and drag under
The undertow and the thunder
My smiling face is torn asunder

Give up the ghost of a man you never met
Haunted by all of his hope
(I'm worn out on hoping for more)
Scatter the ashes in a place you won't forget
Nothing is on his headstone
(No hope any more)
