Emotions Tied to Past Lives Lyrics

Look deep into my eyes and tell me what you see

Is the life still there, held within my stare

Or am I a shell of what I used to be

So lost in my descent to madness, a blistering surreal

Left chasing the embers of my past errors

In hopes I could salvage something real

But now it's gone

I vowed to give you hope when you struggled

I know I failed

So I forced myself to dig through the rubble

Of my betrayal

I left so many words unsaid

Pages that should've been read

Consumed by regret I retreat again

Away to tread the faded memory thread

But I know it's all in my head

Emotions tied to past lives are dead

In a state of darkness, reverie

A new perspective shifts reality

Reveal the truth

What I've done sickens me

I failed you completely

I left so many words unsaid

Pages that should've been read

Consumed by regret I retreat again

Seeking shelter in the lust of desire

It turns from flood to fire

Emotions tied to past lives unwind

Building up just to fall

But you would never care to know

Devotion died when I left you alone

Oh what I would do to leave them behind

Emotions tied to past lives denied

Was it time well spent

Or just a means to no end

To pretend seems like a senseless plan

When your whole life still lies ahead

Somehow I lost it all

The walls had bent too far to fall

But now it's gone

In a desperate leap of faith

Torn between both guilt and pain

I sift through debris in hindsight

Only to catch a glimpse of fate

Incomplete, I try again

But it always stays the same

I assemble all my pieces

Just to watch them fade away

You slipped right through my hands

Just as the sand sifts down the hourglass

The pendulum of adherence swings

A spiral toward disaster

Throughout the centuries faced with fleeting time

We are caught between retreating lines

Deception twists the knife that binds

And lifts the guise that buried your lies

The boundless strife behind these eyes

Reveals emotions tied to past lives
