Parama

And the old flag will burn with the sail

And a new one won't fly if we fail.

But the fire continues to rise,

And it shows not a hint of any fear in our eyes.

There's merit in construction when it's done with our own hands

There's beauty in destruction, a resurrection, another chance

There's a you and I in union but just an I in my beliefs

There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's naïve

Now he is dressing this naked floor

With his flesh and blood, and times passes by

His trade of pain might just have lead him

To deal with consequence

For some change as time passes by

See, cause I’ve come through all this before

And I've bought that skinny tee

With a big black gaping hole where the heart should be

That says, “baby, I renounce thee”

---

Where was your heart, when we needed it most?

Live in denial, and I’ll be your ghost.

There is nothing to let go, only time will let you know,

If you’re worth anything. You’ll know - that I’m

Giving up way too early, Let the axis turn you free,

And destroy everything you love.

Mankind, with your heresy

Can't you see that this is killing me

There's no one in this life

To be here with me at my side

---

People in prayer for me

Everyone there for me

Sometimes I feel I should face this alone

My soul exposed

It calms me to know that I won't

---

I was lost

In the perfect world they promised me

I was scarred

When you tore the mask away

I was amazed

At the lies we refused to see

I was afraid

Of the emptiness the truth would leave behind
