Temperance (US) - Shifting Tides lyrics

Time slips from my grasp, and those once lost days never leave my mind. my own desperation has kept me bound. how will I ever see again when all I saw was you. how will I ever touch again when all that I feel is you. these shifting tides nearly stifled my scream and turned my gasp to drown. I cannot win this war. I always lose. I cannot scream through your deafening monotome. I will not recall, your memory keeps me here, but your presence kept me down. these tears fuel that machine as I continue to drown. I can no longer turn the page. I can only suffocate. I held you up so high. how could you ever let me down? the dam is broken now, and the gears no longer turn. gazing up from this hole. I can only dream to rise
