Far from here

you wonder why i never come around
it's the decisions that you make
i can't stand to see you giving up the fight
i can't grow accustomed to your reasoning
it's so confusing to my head
and i don't know if we can work this through tonight

there are many things that i don't understand
but i don't want to cloud my brain
with the philosophies you try to force on me
you used to stand for so much more than this
but it means nothing to you now
are you so blind or have you chosen not to see

they grow inside you
these chains that bind you
you'll never find true meaning in this

and i will never understand how you turned and walked away
leaving everything behind you
time may lead to many lessons
deep reflection and confessions
i pray a time will come when you accept the truth

soon we'll be left with only memories
an account of chosen paths
only this time i'm afraid you'll have to walk alone
and still i'll keep you always in my heart
my love remains unchanged
but if you choose to self-destruct you'll do it on your own

the lust
desire
the pride
the fire
all choke each breath
your sins bring death
