lyrics

I sat in my room for days / too numb to think, too numb to move / as my body lays here comatose / I realize that this is not my time / the reality of fear comes to life / I don't know ending and I never will / but I'll keep on living / embrace the concept of growing old / accept mortality for what it is / so define your life, make up your mind / I am the author of my own life / I know that I'm fine / you seek comfort through denial / you can't come to terms when you're playing pretend / we're unsure of what's to come but we'll make the most of it while you're playing pretend / we are all the same, there's nothing you can do it all ends this way / don't spend your life waiting for death / it's the things in between that make life worth living / I know that I will be fine / you let hearsay lead you on / you can't avoid the inevitable / you count my footsteps as you waste your time / remaining uncertain your entire life / I am the author of my own life / you are the failure waiting to die.

Protest the Hero continues to be the best metal band, and dare I say best overall band, in the business. The entire Pacific Myth is incredible, as with every other PtH release. Worth every penny. Please please please come to Cincinnati, OH again. Brandon Yates
