Faded Lines

You claim my mind is tainted,
I just won't come clean.
I'm forever an assassin of words,
Like nothing this world has seen.
(Stop the story and remember
all you meant to me...)

I'll be no good
as this world defines,
They say I've found hidden
Meanings between their lines.
(Stop the story and remember
who you used to be...)

Raise up hell from your heaven.
Angels, you can kick me while I'm down.
God, is this really the worst you can curse me?
Come and snatch away everything around me.
Just know the cold truth here and now,
You've lost your own game from the beginning.
(Leave my mind cold,
Set this heart on fire.)

You've all been given a blank canvas,
Yet the picture is always the same.
Yes, the diamond shines bright,
But she's a mere nothing in handfuls.
What good is a mind of your own
If you don't use it to show yourself?
(Break my relentlessness,
Drown out my desire)

Clearer than the mirror you indulge in,
Stronger than the memory that breaks you.
Faster than the light that blinded you,
Louder than the words that made you come undone.
(Nameless, you cannot reach me.)

Stop the story and remember
who you used to be.
Stop the story and remember
all you meant to me...

Stop the story i missed my part

nice words and a good stucture, each verse is like a chapter to a book we some how know, faded and unclear until we close our eyes. Like a dream that answers a question you never asked and don't even know, you awaken to shatter the story and yet continue the show.


this is not the end, this is not the begining of the end, this is merely the end of the begining.
