This Flesh, How It Crumbles Lyrics I’m thinking through to find it’s just a waste of time Holding on is letting go when searching for my mind Into the fine lines and print of my lifetime Through pages and pages I’m turning my ways Forgetting a life not led to its fullest Breaking from the adamant and tenacious Losing a past left in the archaic leads me out from the ruins I’m thanking a cause that graces the flaws of failing in the past Bending my limbs, stretching my will to fix this something There is something hidden out there from inside the lost That’s digging for the diamond in the rough Where’s this something, is there something Trudging in a wave of destruction I fail to drown with ease Feeling like giving up when progression is what I need I’m trying, but I am failing Capturing myself in a cage only leads to finding a way to break out I’m manning up to my mistakes to bury the ghosts before me They mirror my image but they don’t bear my crooked ways These days, these days they seem like nightmares But I know that I’m awake Shake me to wake me I’m awake for I beat my self up from day to day And from time to time I walk the line between the curtain shielding me From what’s behind its lies with an audience watching my demise Where has truth been living in a world of the masked and fake Is there a calm inside a monster after it has pushed the weight Of its power onto the lives of others or is it they who decide their fate I can only learn from what I’ve done and help what I’ve left in havoc By crawling out and away from me at my worst I can now stand taller Than the height of the cave I’ve been struggling in And pursue what’s left unchartered We puppets have been hollowed out with our souls beneath thick layers I’m thanking a cause that graces the flaws of failing in the past Bending my limbs, stretching my will To fix this something, there is something Hidden out there from inside the lost That’s digging for the diamond in the rough Where’s this something, there is something I’m breaking my cursed days with the worst nightmares haunting me You all say you’re fine and fair I know that you’re lost in your caves hating the masks you wear I’ve found peace, love hasn’t really slumbered out there
