Grave Consequences
Epic proportions, illegitimate fears
Clandestine rumors making true all I hear
Nothing in the world could've saved me from this
Taking time to rip, tear, and crush all I hold dear
In my life, emotions shown were filled with pain
Indecisive, inconclusive, always in the rain
Now the time's come for me to put it all behind
Show the world I take no shit, and I give no refrain
Indescript, underlined; tearing fissures in my mind
Never fear what's coming next, just what's left behind
Always looking on and up to see what's left to feel
And as I glance, my heartstrings twist and fold like molten steel
Intermittent time, indefinite life
It's a catch 22, so believe all the lies
Passing days, losing nights, and never keeping score
Still I show the world I've nothing left to hide
Time's cold eyes keep me looking for an end
Running blindly; crashing into what's around the bend
Now the world's shown me that guesswork is the rule
Keep my head and heart on straight; don't let another in
Blister fears explode in my head and form another lie
But now the time has come for me to put it all behind
It's grave consequences that's left for me to see
1, 2, fuck you; and that's all there will ever be
