Lyrics

Close to the end of days
Afraid, as we’re patiently awaiting to become
Just what we cant be
And though I hope it’ll be okay
The pain is all that still remains from who we were
And who we can’t be

He takes a hard look in the mirror
Should he worry bout his future when todays’ pain seems to feel realer?
Turn a man to a creature, shaking hands made him weaker
Just cuz somebody wants ya, don’t mean somebody needs ya
Follow fates procedure just to have something to blame
Promised better tomorrows’ but still the days are the same
Forever caught in the rain maintain under the storm
Surviving through the night while he struggles to see the dawn
Struggles to prove them wrong spit em out like tobacco
He said he fears no man but he’s scared of his shadow
Keeps the rim of his hat low scared to show his face
So caught up in the sewer you could ask him how the gutter tastes
Escaping to another place maybe there’s still hope through his pain
The will to change till the blood runs cold through his veins
Bold brains turned a man to a slave
Got two feet split between the cell and the grave

Close to the end of days
Afraid, as we’re patiently awaiting to become
Just what we cant be, Just what we cant be
And though I hope it’ll be okay
The pain is all that still remains from who we were
And who we can’t be,
This world will never understand me

He tried to chase the dream but he watches while its leavin
Put himself before the team just to practice his inner demons
His passion never leaves him but he’s failing to produce shit
Passions burn to ashes putting matches to the blueprint
Your nothing until ya prove it it’s stupid to skip through it
They hate him in real life so he’s hiding behind his music
He struggles to improve it stop hiding and put ya armor on
Neglect it till you lose it took for granted till it’s all but gone
Words to choke upon struggle till the hope is gone
Tries to lift the world up but all he gets is broken arms
Said he spoke to gods’ visions through a glass of wine
Tried to change the world but see the only thing that changed was time

Close to the end of days
Afraid, as we’re patiently awaiting to become
Just what we cant be, Just what we cant be
And though I hope it’ll be okay
The pain is all that still remains from who we were
And who we can’t be,
This world will never understand me
