Dark Ages

The sense of insignificance
It winds itself around your chest
Surrender and submission have now become
What it takes to be alive

Just keep in mind
This happens to the best of us at times
And it's not going to get any easier
You walk this road of desolation
Only to end up on your knees
But just know that you are not alone

The only things holding you back
Are the lies that you refuse to challenge
You're drowning in a sea of self destruction
And your lungs are starting to cave in
And when you feel that your words
Can only be heard in echoes
They are more deafening than ever before

Every day we face helps build the strength
That makes us who we are
I've lived through this
And so can you
Suffering in silence has become
Something thrown to our past
And though the friendships that we've built
Are constantly falling apart

The remaining few retain the most heart
And I'll give you my heart
