Desert of Mistakes
Harmful Lyrics

I just try not to cry
I am attempting to maintain a facade of strength and composure

I wanna leave this mind and shout it out
I desire to escape the mental torment and verbalize my feelings

Tastes like fear around here
There is a pervasive feeling of terror in this environment

Our destinations are the ones we've been before my dear
Our paths in life have become stagnant and repetitive

So close but too far
Our goals are seemingly within reach, yet unattainable

When the bow begins to break we settle down and hesitate
In times of extreme stress, we become paralyzed with doubt and fear

All this waste, I can't name
The senseless loss and destruction cannot be quantified

So punish me now and let me get back to the shame of life
I am willing to accept punishment to escape the overwhelming pain of existence

When I fall in endless sleep?
When I die and pass into eternal slumber

I hope you will be gone
I desire to leave behind those who have caused me pain and sorrow

Just say you're ready take your place
Accept your role and move forward

In a desert of mistakes again
To repeat past errors and suffer the consequences once more

You give in I can't hardly believe
I am incredulous that you surrendered so easily

These packed up beliefs there's no gain, let it drain
Do not cling to false ideologies, release them and let them go

When the sun begins to faint
As things grow darker and more difficult

How do you keep that shine on
How do you maintain your optimism and positivity in the face of adversity

Provide all of this misuse of our limited times
This is a waste of our fleeting existence

When the big lie hits your eye
When confronted with a monumental falsehood

Won't you go on to deny this game
Refuse to participate in this deceitful game
