architects hallucinate

The Agonist

Starlight darkens the edge of the blade
Made to perforate your true immortal state
(Or will this be another cheap victory)
Raise your shield, break your arms
Today, there's no reason to fight
So go ahead, and heal your wounds
Under artificial night skies
(You forgot to listen to yourself)

Test the waters, you will see
Dive deep
Black eyes paralyze
No sight
At the foot of the bed they lie in wait
Weak mind
Architects hallucinate

The last one standing will be mine
I'll swallow every piece of time
Life can bring no guarantees
Built my trenches, am I guilt free?
To forsake my harmless state
Will be my guide
I must try to find a better way

Vision blurs, senses heighten
Drowning in the finer pleasures
Architects hallucinate
Stairways to the surface
(Or will the guilt keep weighing you down)

Shadows rising tall to consume you
The monster you embraced
(The monster you embraced)
Is a structure you must precipitate
The last one standing will be mine
I'll swallow every piece of time

Life can bring no guarantees
Built my trenches, am I guilt free?
To forsake my harmless state
Will bee my guide
I must try to find a better way
