lyrics

We've stolen away all that can be
Housing the faceless in books we read
A choice is greater then what lies beneath
Running down the pendulum as it swings

God help you
Don't ask me
How or where I believe
My choices
My falters
Returning to me

Take a look in the mirror
Hoping to find the center
Complacency weathered wearing thin I can't even fathom
The key to the world within a
Iris that locks away
The reflection keeping the world at bay
Please pray for children lost in its wake

Removed from the space that denotes my being
I'm caught at the summit beyond what eyes see
The vessels tilted down an endless stream
Running down the pendulum as it swings

My brothers
My sisters
Do you really know me
My struggles
Misfortunes
Remained underneath

Take a look in the mirror
Hoping to find the center
Complacency weathered wearing thin
I can't even fathom
The key to the world within a
Iris that locks away the reflection
Keeping the world at bay
Please pray for children
Lost in its wake

Damnations gather at my feet
Gently I pick up the lost and the meek
Barren wastelands a forging all unseen
Running down that pendulum as it swings

Submissive to what we’ve gathered speaks
Amuse by the silence her pious preach
The perilous will wonder how can it be
Yeaaahhh
Running down that pendulum as it swings

With every passage built in vain
I may not make it through this day
Hollow caves and grave mistakes

Forgive me
My passes
With all that I can see
This torture
That Anger
Brings me to my knees

Yeah, take a look in the mirror
Hoping to find the center
Complacency weathered wearing thin I
Can't even fathom
The key to the world within a
Iris that locks away
The reflection keeping the world at bay
Please pray for the children
Lost in its wake
