Lyrics Denouement - Capstan

Denouement

The world I thought I knew
Dissolved and born again
In the form of truth
I was unprepared
All of my indiscretions digested at the same time
Crushing self-awareness without a warning sign
There’s no warning sign
For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d
apologize from the bottom of it
Self-destruction is hard to admit
Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath
I can’t believe I let myself get this far
Consistently tearing myself apart
Reconstruction so out of reach
Redemption’s in the wreckage
Just dig deep beneath
I’ve been avoiding divine intervention
I’ve had my head in the clouds but now I’m ready to come down
I’m hell bound
Devil on my shoulder hello my old friend
Have you come to gamble with me again
The stakes are raised I’ll put it all down on red
Or let the black send me to my end
For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d
apologize from the bottom of it
Self-destruction is hard to admit
Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath
I can’t believe I let myself get this far
Consistently tearing myself apart
Reconstruction so out of reach
Redemption’s in the wreckage
Just dig deep beneath
Such destruction formed by untimely circumstance
Reality misconception through a psychedelic trance
The requiem played on
Yet there was no one to dance
All mankind caught in a loveless romance
Are we so desensitized that we’ve forgotten what’s real
Numbing life down to a complacent synthetic feel
I will not bow down to this out of touch reality
We live lifeless lives
Glorify your mortality
Hold on to every moment when you’re overwhelmed and brought to tears
So out of touch and hardened
Why is it that we can’t grasp these years
Not the lost hope or sadness but burdens we’ve conquered in times of madness
