Descent Lyrics

A desert in my mind
Hanging by a thread
I saw your fire burn so bright
You taught me how to cry
Witnessed my descent
Yeah you showed the way
I remember...

I tried so hard to belong in your world
The treacherous sanctuary
of "Take it easy, play it safe"
But I couldn't forget my calling
In the back of my mind it still echoes:
To forget or to be forgotten

Lose myself in sound
I feel it in the air
What you will never, ever know

I'll keep my sorrow and pain
Forge it into sound
I'll keep my sorrow and pain
But you'll never break me down

Looking back, I can see I always knew
Just how this thing would go
We were only delaying the step into the unknown
I can't just leave it, I have to try
Give it everything I've got
While there's still time

Breaking free
For better or for worse
I'll take my chances
So hate me if you have to
(and) I don't blame you
Because we both believed
That I'd be with you to the end
