I've Seen Brighter Days - Against The Waves

In times like these

A warning comes as it may

I, deceiver

Disrupt the sleep of the sovereign

I, betrayer

Singing an ode to the long-lost forgotten

Open the gates to the damned

Mediocrity overflowing

A flood of stagnant routine

Course-corrected by the clutches of time

I’m an island

Being unique is not a disease

I’m an island

Did I go too far?

A plea for an average existence

Defined by the foretold

It’s just a wake up call

I only bow down to ideals that keep me hanging on

I’m done wasting my time

I won’t delete and rewind

I embrace the gallows you assigned

This is the legacy of a broken man

The merits of someone who never had

Something good enough to write home about

My dearest friend

No one likes a discorageous war

In our home away from home

Did you honestly believe

That I would just walk away?

You know uncertainty is what makes me feel alive
