Asthen - The Cynic Lyrics

Stripped away
From the very same warmth that I craved
It pulls me apart, oh these chains
I've been gnawing away at for so long

All the same
Is all that we are, it's not our place
I'm trapped in a jar, no escape
You can only play god for so long

To think that I still asked for a way out
To think I'd leave you suffering in doubt

So I guess all this time I've been right
And I'm sure all this time you were wrong
As you crumble away and move into the grey
I guess I was right all along
Where do I go?

I am lost
I'm broken away
And I've crossed too many lines, not okay
But why should that matter anymore?

Oh the shame
I've wished for, awaiting this day
That I spent complaining, erased
Far from the world where you are

Never did I think that I would pray this was a dream
Isn't it enough that I'm already on my knees

And I guess all this time you were right
Serves me right, all this time I've been wrong
As the cancer escapes, and breaks through the gates
I guess you were right all along
Every moment while you were away
I would scream but my tongue would be frayed
And with the darkness before me, towering above you
I guess you were right, god you were right all along
