Willing Oneself To Forget What Cannot Otherwise Be Lyrics

FAIL THE SUN TO SHINE AS THERE IS NO MORE BEAUTY

LEFT TO ALIGHTEN

WHAT ONCE FLOURISHED HAS WEATHERED AWAY

AND WHAT WILL NOT WEATHER 

I CANNOT STOMACH

OH, THE CRUELTY OF A PERSISTENT SCAR



I CAN KEEP MY LIPS FROM TREMBLING

WHILE I SEVER, WITH REGRETFUL HANDS

THE STRINGS SO CARELESSLY ATTACHED TO ME

I CAN REMOVE THE LITTER OF INTIMACY



ALAS,

THIS WILL NOT BE THE DEATH OF ME



IF THAT WHICH MERELY TEARS SELDOM LASTS

HOW CAN THAT WHICH BREAKS EVER HEAL?



I WOULD RATHER BLEED THAN FEEL

I WOULD RATHER BLEED



NO MAN CAN LEARN THE VALUE OF HIS LIFE WITHOUT PAIN

YET, NO MAN DESERVES A LIFE'S WORTH IN PAIN

AND I HAVE A LIFETIME LEFT TO LEARN



AM I NOT A BETTER MAN?



A MAN WHO HAS GROWN SOUND AND STRONG

A MAN WHO HAS LEARNED FROM HIS MISERY



AM I NOT A BETTER MAN?



A CLEVER MAN WHO TAUGHT HIS FLESH THE WAY OF STEEL

THIS LASTING MAN OF RESOLVE AND WILL



AM I NOT A BETTER MAN?



OR JUST A BITTER MAN

THAT ROTS WITH MEMORIES AND ONLY GROWS COLD



INDEED I HAVE GROWN COLD



AND THIS MOMENT FEELS LIKE THE HARSHEST END TO THE COLDEST DAY

THIS DAY HAS LASTED A LIFETIME

WITH AN ETERNITY LEFT TO LAPSE



HERE I AM

FORSAKEN JUST AS I FORSOOK THE SUN

A BLEND OF VENOM AND WINTER-

THE KISS OF FROST AND POISON



HOW I HAVE WISHED FOR A STEADY HAND TO WIPE AWAY THESE SCARS

OR A TENDER KISS TO RENDER ME FORGETFUL



WERE THE SUN TO FOLLOW BITTER EXAMPLES

WE WOULD TRULY KNOW WINTER 

ETERNALLY



MAY THE SUN SHINE ON THE FORSAKEN

MAY THE SUN SHINE BRIGHTLY

AND ILLUMINATE OUR SCARS
