A wall between me and heaven,
A welcome banner from hell
But I am never weary of what it holds for me
Or what it could have been.

Down with my face sank into the mud
I've ceased to exist, lost into the crowd
Been chasing shadows down the alleys of my
empty heart
I light my fire to find my own way back.

Guide my tired soul back home, to you.
Cause this time, I lay myself surrendered
My eleventh hour.

Can't win the race with a dying light
But in the end, I know, my path was right
I was led by a man with a blinded sight.


All I have left are my bones, too charred to
keep.
All that is dear shall be gone.
Just a memory.

Snow had fallen, snow on snow.
In the bleak midwinter, a long ago.
I grind my bones to turn each stone
You raise yourself to grace just to be alone.

Guide my tired soul back home, to you.
Cause this time, I lay myself surrendered
My eleventh hour.

These strings bind no more,
my body ceases to fall
Until the very end, I cling myself to blind faith
just waiting to be saved.

One thing I won’t give up is giving up
I expect that to carry me through, it all depends on it,
The things I believe in are very frail
They won’t be around for long
Neither will I, cause’ it goes in deeper.
Conform yourself to loss.

Letting it all go is the last thing I want to do
It’s not about what you have lost
It’s about the things that you can bear
Would you rather die than give up?

I don’t believe that death is about nothing,
Or maybe I don’t really know its meaning,
I just hold on to its grim.


So, take a shot at starting over without starting it all again,
You just walk away.
Everything you are, everything that you have done has brought you to the bottom of the bottle.
You bought yourself a one-way ticket.

There is no reason.
Forced yourself to shut the door,
It will be cold,
It will be sad, and they are all good signs
You don’t say nothing,
Just turn up your collar and keep walking

I can’t speak.
My reasons are centered around a loss,
A make believe,
Enlightened to the nature of reality.
Tainted the remaining good in me.

Should you find the things you’ve lost
Remember that you once were a visitor
And I once was a host.
Personal battles waged with no victor,
Only those who give up their swords,
Better hidden in a mask.
Courage poured inside a worn out broken flask.

You’re fixed for a moment but scarred for life.
Unwilling to take on the challenge, unable to see the light, confidently.
Only fools would believe it’s going to be alright.
But real peace exist.
Its inside a very special place
Inside of a violent mind.

So find your solace and find your truth,
When all’s been said and done
We all bear a different fruit
For now.

The marks left on their graves are gone,
But It isn’t your time,
you still have a few fights left in you
and
It feels so good and so wrong
Yet so familiar
It’s too familiar (It’s so familiar)

You know you’re done when the void becomes your home.
That everything’s going to work out just fine, that you’re better off alone

You don’t have the means to live,
If you give this one up,
Cause we look in the mirror everyday,
And we just wanted it to stop.

This fight is unworthy if you’re your own enemy.
What did it cost?
Everything.

Madness creeps in when im trying to be rational in a dream.
I've tried, Im tired of pretending
Imposing the limit to myself just to relate on normality.

Sell the idea that we are suffering. That you’ll see me through
If I am one of you.

I wont dare to prove my side, conformists plagued our lives
Killing our weakened hopes.

Wear your colors and follow the line.
Syncing feeble empty minds.

An oath that no one understands,
A road that keeps us out of plan.
We share the same root but
we bear different fruit.

So I choose to fall away.

I see the future and I still lose.
Nobody wants this gift,
And I can never choose.
Catching the drift, I know I am free.
I plead for life, plead for insanity.

Until we get our chance,
Until we burst from the seams
Until they are ready to believe, we stay
In the dark.

“Simple” from the Engender album is a song about swimming against the stream of norm.
