white lie legacy

my life is as empty as the midnight sky
ill leave it to you when im gone
to you i leave my legacy
it burns, and it cries
its an ongoing process that you will never shake
its like the millions of times that you and i shared
its the memories of the dead and the living
crossed over and left as one

to you i die
for you i live my last strained breaths
to you i lie
i told you i would be alright,
but it was just another white lie

you struggle, you creep
through the dark paths
your lost in a maze
its your own life now
i cant do anymore for you now that im gone
cause theres so much left to do

to you i die
for you i live my last strained breaths
to you i lie
i told you i would be alright,
but it was just another white lie

through the fog i see you now
your all alone
you failed me a last time
i pleaded for the world to heal
you were my only adversary
and now you fell into a cold conformitism

to you i die
for you i live my last strained breaths
to you i lie
i told you i would be alright,
but that was just another white lie

i bled out my tears, lived out my fears
i helped the ones who never saw
the light, the hope, the only way out
and i took the wrong turn,
it was just too much

to you i die
for you i live my last strained breaths
to you i lie
i told you i would be alright,
but that was just another white lie
