Live your life for memories
Sow the seeds and grow your trees
See the world with your eyes open
Be the wise one I could not ever be
We grow old and
Grass grows over
And though I’m older now
Wiser in my years somehow
I’m left behind the rest
I gave it all my best
As if I knew the way
Now only I remain
I put the past behind
I climb a wave and pick up where I left off
Keep your word and keep a promise
Keep a secret be honest
Live your life for family
Teach them well and set them free
See the world with both eyes open
When I’m gone it won’t be all over
We grow old and
Grass grows over
And though I’m older now
Wiser in my years somehow
I’m left behind the rest
I gave it all my best
As if I knew the way
Now only I remain
I put the past behind
I climb a wave and pick up where I left off

While their arms are thrown around
I’ll be breaking myself down
In the absence of your shroud
I’ll be waiting where you drowned
In time we learn to see
Though at times I couldn’t breathe
In the fire I learned to feel
In the end our wounds are healed
To the knives who carved my name
For the world which they’ve unmade
All the sadness they’ve engraved
Fills this heart with shame
Some day this storm will pass
And peace will come at last
Time makes pain the past
Where our souls amass

It seems these days
Like time has passed
Since I left you here to change
Beyond the shore the setting sun
An end in time when we were young
Once given these wings it had begun
Truth as water lies as stones
Rocks remain while rivers flow
Given death I can’t defend my name
Due the Eastern rising sun
In winter here my time is done
Given life, I can’t pretend I’ve won
Crimson sky
Clouded mind, hallucination’s rife
Run the liar, thought the wish
Gave the game but fought the wrist
Upon the stone my name and time had left
Broken arrow, stolen soul
Eternal wounds, a heartless hole
The end I feared now ends the fear in me

Ricochet, your head aches
Drug intake, can't you say
No more I am fine
Taking this shortens life
I find there's a time
Where your mistakes
Are the same as mine
Toxicate, your dark veins
Perfect rain, your blood stains on my mind
You don't make it right
So much time, but I've changed my mind
You may see it like
Your mistakes are the same as mine
I won't stray
Fall away
Time will fray
My eyes turn grey
Ricochet hits me
Your lifeless eyes regress
Feel mindless
No time left to change my mind
I see a ruined man
Staring at his reflection
My skin growing pale
Release me now before I inhale
Ricochet... (anyway)
