Divided (I Have Become) Lyrics

Divided I have become

Just like the colors out of a picture

Who's drenched in blood

It flows yet I follow

All the way through the veins

Back to the heart

I am the ghost of a better man

Far from a scene you've seen before

Look into my eyes, no turning back

Here we finish this chronicle

I am the page

I am the ink

I am the only author

Where my words will shape the world

Herein I remain a prisoner

My own shadow looms over me

Everywhere where I can be

Is a seat already taken

Taken by my ghost, you see

Stories carry on

Even long after the author's gone

Death, mark of a new chapter

And thus new tales spawn

Divided I have become

Just like the colors out of a picture

Who's drenched in blood

It flows yet I follow

All the way through the veins

Back to the heart

I am the reflection of a bitter man

Far from my prime, in time we all

Will succumb to decay's embrace

In her cold arms be erased

My word, my will

Subverted by the story

Impermanent as the characters

We're also so transitory

I reckon the die is cast

As we approach the climax

As if I ever had any choice to make

I would never pick the outcast

Overcome the urge to contend

We're at a dead end, my friend

The icons are history

Soon we too will join them

Divided I have become

Just like the colors out of a picture

Who's drenched in blood

It flows yet I follow

All the way through the veins

Back to the heart
