Echoes of Lust

Ready my heart for the rise of it all Embrace the echoes as everyone falls Settle the pettiness poisoning you Take a brave leap into the darkness you knew These are the scores which remain at a stall Steady she goes as we tear down the wall Leave it behind; rusted shackles of lust Admit it; this life is the prison in us Must I digress when I'm speaking my mind? Always a war of the bittersweet kind Cause we win and we lose, or nothing at all Put down that sharp needle; you'll never be tall You'll never feel strong or enough to be judged This isn't a nudge and it isn't a grudge I gained everything that I wanted to find It all left me broken and trapped in my mind So I'm shoving you; can you please lead the way? I fell into lies and the greed yesterday Desparately searching for a haven from the light Only to find my devil awake in the night I'm falling away from their outstretched fingertips Turning my cheek when they go for a kiss I'll never be wealthy as I wanted to be I'll stay in the dark till the day I can see
