Son's Voices

Coming closer to the edge, pushed to the brink
The moment passes, collapse preceeded by, anticipation
Nervous succumbing to eventuality
Uncentered

I know it is time to become what life requires
I know I cannot deny this forced transition
Undeniable, unrelenting
The reality, the weight to bare
No choice, no time to spare

Desperation, confusion, intimidation

Drowning
Writhing
Prisoner of my uncontrolled mind
Suffocating, searching for escape

Falling further, deeper into, the abyss
Suddenly I can breathe
Light ascends, the dawn approaches
Gasping, grounded, finding my center
Knowing I can never return
I hold my head high and ascend

Sacrificing life, sacrifice the life that we once lived
Sacrificing life, going beyond to find more
Sacrificing life, sacrifice the life that we once lived
Enduring progression, evolving without choice

Gasping, grounded, finding my center
Knowing I can never return
I hold my head high and ascend

Sacrificing life, sacrifice the life that we once lived
Sacrificing life, going beyond to find more
Sacrificing life, sacrifice the life that we once lived
Enduring progression, evolving without choice
