LYRICS AND RIFF PLACEMENT
[VERSE] X6
I fed the clues of a lost day killed in motion
But I thought of it so like there's no other way it could've been done
Will they size my fit for a puzzle I wish not to play part in it
A heart stained in hate a feeling I fear will play circles
[CHORUS W/ LEAD] X2
You were my favorite
[VERSE] X4
I severed my ties to shroud this body under the streets of this city
And wait for the day when I am summoned to walk across the face
Well slowly but clearer now in visions that play and plague memories
I love them with all (heart) as a son should to mother and father
[CHORUS W/ LEAD] X2
You were my favorite
[PHASE II W/ LEAD]
Would I walk through the door
Shedding the light of all life
With the rise and reform
Would I come as before
[PHASE III W/ LEAD] X2
Pray you're not the only one
[PHASE IV] X3
[PHASE V] X2
If given mistakes would I take them back
If erasing them could, if erasing them would
[PHASE VI]
What would they be the words that I would say
Your face and a door between
I've parted three ways for you the newo that I loved
[PHASE VII W/ LEAD] X6
Did you ever really know before my face shame to break
Did you ever really know before my mind scared to think
Did you ever really know before my name son to these
Did you come clean in the end from the start
[PHASE VIII W/ LEAD] X2
Dear Ambellina, the prise wishes you to watch over me
[PHASE VIII] X2
I've fought the decisions that call and lost my part as the relevant piece in this
I will come reformed
In short for the murders of those I court I bless the hour that holds your fall
(Sincerely) I will kill you all
[PHASE VIII W/ LEAD] UNTIL FADEOUT
I will call you out from shelter burn your wings you'll know no better
I will call you out from shelter burn your wings and learn their letters
