Breached Aperture Lyrics

Lurking

Sentience

Beneath the veil

Of malcontent

Burn

From within

Breach

The innate temperament

Ingrained and victimized

The condition realized

Transmuted harrowing

To open one's eyes

Burnt out, a wandering mind resigns

There is no mercy in hiding, no guardian waits for you or I

Within, a question resides

Was it all a failing, a dissension of pride?

Take these memories

Hold them for eternity

But let go of their misery

They were only an understanding of what was

Nothing but a fleeting call

To awaken ones senses

To the finality of pain

Ego driven, searching for the answers to attain power

Walls of impenetrable phantom material protects

A fortress built around frail insignificant aspects of a child claiming to be of elder wisdom

Scream, with your crown

Reap, what is sown

Demons of destruction creeping into the stronghold

Inescapable lessons follow in the wake of their consort

Breaching the aperture of the mind's eye with terror

Cutting away the barriers and exposing the errors

Endured pain

Becomes a lesson gained

Ingrained and victimized

The condition realized

Transmuted harrowing

To open one's eyes

Burnt out, a wandering mind resigns

There is no mercy in hiding, no guardian waits for you or I

Within, a question resides

Was it all a failing, a dissension of pride?"Merely a ghost of a signpost" he claims

Limping and scarred but not yet broken

Pathways, bifurcating

Miraging judgement

Make your choice, once again

One foot bear trapped in an unhallowed grave

The other stands firm, free and unscathed

Lay down to rest, or live in understanding

And as I try to tear free

The jaws of condemnation scream

Skin ripped apart and torn in struggle

Leaving the vessel bleeding out

Pain, mutilated

Never to recover

But at least I'm alive
