Denouement - Capstan

The world I thought I knew

Dissolved and born again

In the form of truth

I was unprepared

All of my indiscretions digested at the same time

Crushing self-awareness without a warning sign

There’s no warning sign

For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d

apologize from the bottom of it

Self-destruction is hard to admit

Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath

I can’t believe I let myself get this far

Consistently tearing myself apart

Reconstruction so out of reach

Redemption’s in the wreckage

Just dig deep beneath

I’ve been avoiding divine intervention

I’ve had my head in the clouds but now I’m ready to come down

I’m hell bound

Devil on my shoulder hello my old friend

Have you come to gamble with me again

The stakes are raised I’ll put it all down on red

Or let the black send me to my end

For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d

apologize from the bottom of it

Self-destruction is hard to admit

Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath

I can’t believe I let myself get this far

Consistently tearing myself apart

Reconstruction so out of reach

Redemption’s in the wreckage

Just dig deep beneath

Such destruction formed by untimely circumstance

Reality misconception through a psychedelic trance

The requiem played on

Yet there was no one to dance

All mankind caught in a loveless romance

Are we so desensitized that we’ve forgotten what’s real

Numbing life down to a complacent synthetic feel

I will not bow down to this out of touch reality

We live lifeless lives

Glorify your mortality

Hold on to every moment when you’re overwhelmed and brought to tears

So out of touch and hardened

Why is it that we can’t grasp these years

Not the lost hope or sadness but burdens we’ve conquered in times of madness
