Vanquish

Take an inch of my soul day by day

Tell me it will heal when all I feel is pain

I've been hanging onto every word you say

This gives me hope so you can then take it away

The inconsistent logic seems so typical

Tell me I'm insane

If I could strip myself of your disinformation

And let this go

When you realize time's against you it's too late

With the worlds opposition tempting your fate

You know you're not the only one to wish me death

Your edifice destroyed with just one breath

Where I exclaimed the word that seemed too cynical

Frame me the profane

So they can shake themselves awake from incantations

And loose control

The secret breached with just one sound

Recant the lie you once espoused

A vanquished truth once built to last

Disclosed only upon the face unmasked

Who knew wars fought against us were subliminal

Learn to walk away

When you're ready to break these chains

And quit grasping for safety

Just let me know

Even if I don't come for you now

I'll end up face to face with you somehow

One of us won't leave this room alive

I'll see you bear the wounds I hold inside

At what point do our own thoughts become criminal

There's nothing left to say

If you can't seem to reason with

Being free to keep this feeling

You've sold your soul
