we're shattered by life's soft deceit
 enslaved to our thoughts by our reason
 refusing to walk with the weak

 betrayed by the past's desolation
 we slept listless nights by the shore
 searching for signs of salvation
 hoping to find something more

 tell me what i have when it all slips away
 tell me what i see when the light fades away
 tell me what i hold in the palm of my hand
 tell me what i feel because i'm trying
 to understand
 i'm sending transmission

 confused by the weight of our virtue
 we follow the paths of the slain
 in silence we walk through these shadows
 embracing the pleasures of pain
 once again
