A Monument To Illusions

Fighting for a trophy which

Breaks more with each breath you take

Born of fire and drowned in blood

This is your self-built prize

Digging further down

Away from the dreams you hold

Now choose to own a ruin or share what we don't know

There's nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide

Time was never on your side

You've stabbed your mother through the heart

Claimed your lessers as your prize

Boasting of your victory in a game that you've rigged

Drowned without regard for even yourself

So proud of your intelligence that's lead you to this state

A barren stone in emptiness, a monument to illusions

You've thrown yourself away

Burnt until the depths of solitude

Worth the wait for the weight?

Now speak of what you saw

And what it turned out to be

There's nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide

Time was never on your side

You've stabbed your mother through the heart

Claimed your lessers as your prize

Boasting of your victory in a game that you've rigged

Drowned without regard for even yourself

So proud of your intelligence that's lead you to this state

A barren stone in emptiness, a monument to illusions

You've thrown yourself away

Overpowered by the mirage

Unhindered thought lifetimes away

Addicted to dreaming of more of yourself

Suffocating the dreams of your own

You would sacrifice what you will never see

This damnation is not the way that we are meant to be

There's nowhere left to run, and nowhere left to hide

Time was never on your side

You've stabbed your mother through the heart

Claimed your lessers as your prize

Boasting of your victory in a game that you've rigged

Drowned without regard for even yourself

So proud of your intelligence that's lead you to this state

A barren stone in emptiness, a monument to illusions

You've thrown yourself away
