The Temple

It starts to surface, a hate that I can't hide
Your words are poison, they leave me dead inside
We're splitting at both ends, lost and broken in the dark
And when the night descends, the temple falls apart

Broken a thousand times, I can't hold the weight again
I need to make the climb
And isolate
Maybe we were meant to fall apart

I can feel the pressure
But I don't see the diamonds forming
Pull my strings a little tighter now
Pull me out so I can breathe
So I can breathe

Slowly losing my sight
Fading away, stripped by pride
Putting my faith in a dead crown molded by my delusion
Returning to my throne
Just to suffer
Maybe we weren't meant for life at all
Only apocalypse

I can feel the pressure
But I don't see the diamonds forming
Pull my strings a little tighter now
Pull me out so I can breathe
So I can breathe

And I can hear the echoes
Nothing but a distant memory
Pull my strings a little tighter now
Pull me out so I can breathe
So I can breathe

The throne I've built has finally turned to dust
A hollow reign built on fear and rust
Falling apart, the cracks begin to spread
The temple falls, buried with the dead

The throne I've built has finally turned to dust
A hollow reign built on fear and rust
Falling apart, the cracks begin to spread
The temple falls, buried with the dead
