Denial 02:54
Here come fate adorned in his robes. They kneel before him, yet he’s no king. If going against him is forfeiting my future, I’ll write my own damned script. I hear them say, they’ll take your head for this, But I don’t want to die, stubborn as I am. I’ll take this life an keep it close, How do I right these wrongs? I washed my hands in the river - I’ve cleaned my soul in the sky - I am a part of this world and I don’t want to die. I didn’t think it would’ve ended like this, So here I stand with clenched fists. I hear my brother say I can make this right. He says that I can avoid this fight. Warning I never thought I’de need - Words that I must heed. My throat tightens as I lane what he knows. I’m choking on regret and it shows, and it shows - And it shows. I’m choking on reget. I’ve washed my hands in the river - I’ve cleaned my soul in the sky - I am a part of this world and I don’t want to die. I didn’t think it would’ve ended like this, So here I stand with clenched fists.

Bargaining 02:30
I’ll bow before your home, You bring me in like one of your own. Maybe it’s you who means no harm, Maybe it’s you who bears no arms. Descending in to this world unknown, Seven gates I pass to gaze upon your throne, I know what I did was wrong, Yet you welcome me with open arms. I come with my head bowed down, Appologies weighing my shoulders to the ground, I know what I did was wrong, Yet you welcome me with open arms. I’ll bow before your home, You bring me in like one of your own. Maybe it’s you who means no harm, Maybe it’s you who bears no arms. Don’t eat, don’t drink - They’ll steal your throne. Don’t sit don’t sleep - They’ll take your home. I don’t know if I have the strength, (Don’t eat, don’t drink) Here you bring me in with your open arms. (They’ll steal your throne) I don’t know if I can follow through, (Don’t sit don’t sleep) Is it worth it to me, is it worth it to you. (They’ll take your home) I don’t know if I, I have the strength. (Don’t eat don’t drink - They’ll steal your throne) I don’t know if I can follow through ( Don’t sit don’t sleep - They’ll steal your home)

Rumination 03:06
I’m floating over this land, The earth blocks out the sun, I need to get back home, Think of what I’ve done. I see this place I’ve feared, Nothing more than a face. I’ve made my choice, Found a new voice, How can I be so sure. I’m floating over this land, But the earth blocks out the sun, I need to get back home, Think of what I’ve done. What say you brother, Now I’m leaving all behind? You’ve ate, you’ve drank. You’ve made their home your home. I’ve sat I’ve laid, I’ve claimed my throne, I needed to come home (I needed to come home) How do I know this was right, That this choice was mine, How do I know that I’m ready to give this up. Brother take this mask, Annoint yourself with the oil. Brother take this mask, Keep your place. Oh here comes fate, He can’t see your face. Can’t run from fate He knows your name.

Acceptance 03:28
These past six nights I’ve died in all of my dreams, Why do you think this how to communicate with me. I wish I knew what it was that you were trying you say, I wish I knew what it was so I could make it through the day. You come to me with your army of the dead, Reminding me of the balance I had restored. I promise you I’ll come back one day, Of my own free will, and I’ll be here to stay. Don’t take this out on the world, This is mine to bear. Don’t take this out on the world. These past six nights I’ve died in all of my dreams, You’ve taken your power and turned it all on me. I think it’s time to let a part of me go - I think it’s time to let this part of me go. Please, I just needed the time, to know my choice was right, and not just in my mind. I promise I’ll come back to stay, Of my own free will, Please, I’m on my way. Don’t take this out on the world, This is mine to bear, Don’t take this out on the world. These past six nights you’ve lived in all of my dreams, Shown me what it means to be awake. I’ll take this mask off my face, I’ll make a home of your great place. I wonder if I’ll ever feel the same, If only I could speak your name. I promise you I’m on my way, Of my own free will and I’ll be there to stay. Don’t take this out on the world.
