We are all cursed to live
In the shadow of the valley of death

A brothers touch
Now lost forever
No more embrace
But the bond won't be severed
I take a breath
And I feel the hatred fill my veins
This could be yours
But you let the poison take it away

Look back to the days
When we had so much to say
Our teenage ambitions, our hopes
Our simple naive dreams
But years passed
And we weren't immune to change
Thought I was drowning with you
But you were drowning the same

Pushed onward
Self-destruction followed
You left your family
Begging for you back
As they carried your coffin
And dreamed a life you could've had

I am forced
To summon memories
Just to watch them slip away

Whispered words
Nothing to say
The lattice breaks
Under the weight of my pain
Severed ties
Ever beyond escape
The Sun is dead
But the shadow remains
How do I end this
I've never felt this cold
I sit and pretend
That you're still coming home

Let shadows die
In the absence of light

Shadows remain

Whispered words
Nothing to say
The lattice breaks
Under weight of my pain
Severed ties
Ever beyond escape
The Sun is dead
But the shadow remains
How do I end this
I've never felt this cold
I sit and pretend
That you're still coming home
