lyrics

I DRINK FROM A WELL RIDDLED WITH MISGIVINGS
ABOUT WHO I AM AND WHERE I AM TAKING YOU
GRIM INFLUENCES STRUGGLE TO REAR THEIR UGLY FACES
WHILE I DROWN IN SELF CONDEMNATION
I FIND LITTLE WILL TO FIGHT THE DEMONS
THE DEMONS WHO'VE SEARED THEIR MARKS - UPON MY HEART

THE VENOM COURSING THROUGH OUR VEINS
WILL SEEK TO ENVELOP THE WONDER AND THE BEAUTY BEFORE US
THE EASE WITH WHICH I'VE CARRIED YOU WILL DEPART
AS THE WEIGHT OF THIS WORLD SETTLES UPON YOUR HEART

TRUTH WILL CHANGE. PAIN WILL INVALIDATE
EXPECTATIONS WILL WITHER AWAY
TIME HAS GIVEN ME THE WISDOM
THAT HEEDLESS DECISIONS CAN KILL
AND CEMENTED REGRET, CEMENTED REGRET

I FEAR MY HEART IS TOO COLD TO IMPART THE FIRE OF LIFE
MY SPIRIT TOO SLOW TO RELEASE ITS SORROW

MEMORIES LIKE EMBERS CAN FUEL PERSEVERANCE
MEMORIES OF INNOCENCE CAN IGNITE EMPATHY
AN EMPATHY SO VITAL TO MY MIND'S ILLUSTRATION
OF HOW WE'VE ARRIVED WHERE WE ARE
AND WHAT WE'VE COME TO BE
THOUGH LOCKED WITHIN THIS MENTAL CELL
NEW LIFE HOLDS THE KEY TO FREEDOM

AND WITH THIS NEW LIFE REGRET CAN NOW DIE
AND WITH THIS NEW LIFE REGRET CAN NOW DIE
WHILE MY BLOOD IS YOURS THE GHOSTS I RESURRECT ARE NOT
LET US LAY THEM TO REST TOGETHER UNBURDENED BY DOUBT
AND WITH THIS NEW LIFE
AND WITH THIS NEW LIFE
AND WITH THIS NEW LIFE
REGRET CAN NOW DIE
