They want you to be
Something that you cannot feel
Look for the doorway
Say goodbye to old ways

Your voice is abound
Each time that you say it out loud
I’m done with my old ways
I’ve entered the doorway

The more that you keep
Yourself from the whispers you hear
It starts overflowing
Right out of the doorway

Look inside, you’ll see your soul
It’s lovely and it wants you home
It breathes into you endless hope
But needs you now, don’t give it up

I know the feeling all too well
It’s easier to fit this mold
Than be alive
Than to be alive

The Doorway

The Antagonist

In the fire
on the stage
never walked on these plains

all your cards
have been flipped
it’s a wonder you’re still here

it’s a force
you can’t see
seems to come fast to break

Not alone
it’s okay
don’t forget it’s a simulation

Come here baby
Weapons down, It’s you and I
Tell me baby
What’s been running on your mind

Shadows call
from defeat
sense of purpose
set ablaze

Cast aside
in a state
where your compass
is spinnin’

it’s a curse
that you feed
each full moon
you parade

It’s a false
prophecy
we can break
if you stand here with me

Chorus

you’re ridiculed each time you’re naked 
with loving eyes, you try to change it
the suffering is now comforting
There, you and I are bound to break it

no politics or self-defense
can terrorize the love we’re gifted
embrace the solace doused in pain
for you and I, the fight is worth it

Take cover inside
the evidence shows
the more you keep
inside of you blows

The devil inside,
in a better mans cloak
the more you keep inside
the stronger he grows

Weapons
