Parallel Lyrics by Joshua Travis

No Rest

0

My mind is mental execution
Always falling for illusions
These high times, they never last
Although I let go I'm still in your grasp
I tried and I can't fucking take it
Pray for change but I'm always mistaken
Go ahead, I know my life's wasted
No need to tell me twice
I heard it fine the first time
What does it mean to breathe this air?
Surrounded by souls who've never cared
Afraid to be apart
Some things you only know when you've grown alone
Every step is walking the tightrope
This gamе of balance makes me chokе
Distorted thoughts and tired eyes
I wonder what it's like to feel alive
My mind is deprived inside
Why do I feel so dark in a room of light?
Someday I'll have my time
Until then, I am empty inside
Hello, tortured soul, you are just like me
Confide in these words I speak
They come from true despair
These tales of torture are not from thin air
People do not see
We are not what we claim to be
Smoke and mirrors
Suspended by puppeteers
We were never free
It's only when
You leave that you see
We are not free
Only when we leave
Then we will see
Their lies were our dreams
It's only when
We leave that we see
We were not free
Own the air we breathe
Like an item
I am more than this
From the gutter
Into stableness
All without you
Will I live again?
What happens when
We close our eyes
For the last time?
Will I see your face
Or empty space?
Lost in nothingness
Becoming less
As I day dream
Of wind in trees
I remind me (I remind me)
There is something
Lingering inside
No more lies
I am realizing (Realizing)
I'm still not free
