Brotherhood (Part. 6)

This life we live is full of tribulations
Sometimes the hurt is beyond comprehension
Satisfied by nothing
When all we know is pain

Death divides
While bringing us together
No words I say
Will bring back our brother

Alone I am
Weak in
The eyes of the storm
Time Passes on
Leaving us behind to mourn

Breaking down every word you wrote
I see now how blind I was
Pain & strife are all you knew
But I just wish I could have talked to you

Biding time to run and hide
So I don't have to face my friends
Pressure builds behind my eyes
Waiting for this nightmares end

Perennial
You are forever
In a house of glass your stones
Make the loudest crash

Path maker, hope sculptor, peace keeper
Your endeavours were not in vain
I hope you found your peace of mind
I know you game me mine.

Build me up to break yourself down
Reaching for the heavens
In hopes to find your own cloud
Your sun has set
Upon us all (Upon us all)
But its always darkest before its dawn

Every night is a sleepless one
When I lay awake and realize you're gone
I treat grief with a passing glance
Knowing one day it will bring back my past

These memories are all that's left
It's hard to live in retrospect
Pissed of and angry
Was there even anything I could have done?

Looking further towards the future
Seeing all the gifts it holds
Burning bridges, flooded rivers
Overflowing on the roads
Candlelight exhumes the night
Prancing shadows adorned in fright
Weeping willows bow their heads
Silence speaks in respects of the dead

Wallflower I need your grace
I know you're hiding please show your face
Monochrome my skin loses pigment
All alone the misery is...
Imminent!

Build me up to break yourself down
Reaching for the heavens
In hopes to find your own cloud
Your sun has set
Upon us all (Upon us all)
But its always darkest before its dawn

I've been stuck in the dark
Unknowing just hoping
I've been stuck in the dark
Looking for my true being
I've been stuck in the dark
Unknowing just hoping
All I found was a disappointment
Looking back at me

You don't know the struggle!
You don't know the struggle!
You don't know the struggle!

Days and days will melt away
Life the battered pedals of a wilted flower
No matter how rich the soil is foliage dies
When the roots are rotted
Brimstone and fire
Cleanse me of the guilt I bear
Everything I feel is part of the grieving
Devastation from that night
Still haunts my dreams and plights
Ready to take the world by storm
I leave all my doubts at the door
In this brotherhood we are stronger
Together than we are alone
Navigator shine your light
Guide me back home

Build me up to break yourself down
Reaching for the heavens
In hopes to find your own cloud
(Your sun has set) Your sun has set
Upon us all (Upon us all) Upon us all
But its always darkest before its dawn
Remembering the day I got the news
Recalling all the broken smiles
Tears and changed moods
Your light will shine from now until forevermore
forevermore

Your words shiver through my being
Like a lost traveler
Hearing his echo in the distance
You were humble, you were wise
You were thoughtful you were kind
Even at your worst you make us feel fine
Shanon, I don't want you go but I know... It's your time
And you're not coming back!
