Enlightenment ii: ego death

Two AM and I am awake
Two AM and I am alive
Two AM and I am waiting for another sunrise
So paint the picture that you wanted to see
Break out of all of the lines that you’ve been drawing
Two AM and I awake
Two AM and I am alive
Two AM and I am waiting one another sunrise

In so many words, out of all that I’ve heard
Silence and loneliness have scarred their accents on me
And every decision that I’ve delayed will bring the end of my everything
We defecate on our dinner plates, and we’ll lay in the beds that we make, for life
And now I realize that I have ruined my own life
Martyrs we’ve seen turn into our reflections
As all of our neighbors sell their own rendition

We have forgotten that we can build, but in the guilt, we never will
Upstairs were down stares into my eyes
Revenge slowly grew within me
Forgiveness set me free
Forgive and set them free

An empty room fills with a fed up audience
The crowd decides that there’s nothing left to see
We bare no witness anymore
So now we wonder as we sit and wait
Everything that we’ve valued for so long

Thrown away for insecurity
If we don’t turn around
This is how we will all be found
Dead
Lifeless
Buried in their wake
