Severed - Imperative Reaction

You will give up

you always do

and time won’t let you follow through

your weakness has shown

and now you’re everthing they’ve thrown at you

you knew the tide was coming

you cast yourself adrift

you burned your empty words

and fucked it up again

now the colours drain like blood

down the canvas you abandoned

and shadows hide the words

you replace with excuses

but excuses lose their weight

when you’re forced into a corner

and the one you once believed in

has left you there alone

now what can you show

for all the dreams you cripple

now how does it feel

when everything you had is gone

now what can you say

for the life you fought so hard to live

now how does it feel

now how does it feel

how can you walk away

when this was everything you wanted

now how can you say

this was nothing that you needed

how can you fall apart

at a time that is so crucial

now how does it feel

now how does it feel

you are too lost

you’ll always be

too caught up in your world to see

reality is spoken

and you turn the other way

you always have a reason

to deny what you destroy

you burn your acid words

and left it all behind

now the reasons fall like cinders

from the fire you avoided

when whispers shun the failures

you tried so hard to hide

when whispers lose their trust

when your lost and apathetic

and the one you once believed in

is a total fucking loss

now what can you show

for all the dreams you cripple

now how does it feel

when everything you had is gone

now what can you say

for the life you fought so hard to live

now how does it feel

now how does it feel

how can you walk away

when this was everything you wanted

now how can you say

this was nothing that you needed

how can you fall apart

at a time that is so crucial

now how does it feel

now how does it feel

now what can you show

for all the dreams you cripple

now what can you show

when everything you had is gone

now what can you show

for all the dreams you cripple

now how does it feel

when everything you had is gone

now what can you say

for the life you fought so hard to live

now how does it feel

now how does it feel

how can you walk away

when this was everything you wanted

now how can you say

this was nothing that you needed

how can you fall apart

at a time that is so crucial

now how does it feel

now how does it feel

now what can you show
