I held a grip so tight / I could never let you go / but you were fading and I cannot let my apathetic self hold me back from who I'm meant to be / I can't hold myself back / this is not reality / how did I fall in love with someone I barely knew / your true colours bled through and burned a hole deep inside my heart / I felt it deep down / I was nothing to anyone / how does it feel living day to day without a spine / tell me now, you selfish lifeless man / I'm past the point of feeling anything / I was everything you ever wanted but nothing I wanted to be / I wish I could set the clocks back and set myself free / I am the martyr of my own destiny / I want to be there the day your heart gives out / so you can feel how I felt that day / when I close my eyes, all I see is you / that distant memory that I wish wasn't true / but I turned around and I felt what it was to be alive / I wish I could never be / I tried so hard just to see what I'm meant to be / I turned around and felt alive.
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
