Lyrics:

Wide awake in the moonlight
Fighting off the dark skies
Just a muse to a shattered soul
The silence will claim you whole

I'm caught in a memory
Where the flowers bloom
And I can still breathe
So how do I let it go?
I’m fighting the winds on my own

A daydream
To be awake again
Now I’m slowly falling faster every day
Alone with all my sin

Withdraw me from this creation
Locked in a distant vision
Remain alone, resist temptation
A design of my intention
Releasing again

Breathe your hell upon my name
Fighting through everything
When does it end?
I can’t withstand this hate
Melancholic visions turn to isolated distance
You wouldn’t even recognize my face
The sun is fading away

So long to these fleeting paradigms collecting dust
Just leave me on the shelf
I refuse this blackened destiny
Just please release me from this memory

Withdraw me from this creation
Locked in a distant vision
Remain alone, resist temptation
A design of my intention
Releasing again
Suspended by this life I created
Roaming these streets until all is faded
So tell me when do I give it up?
I’m fighting to stay above
‘Cause I could never say goodnight

(I could never say goodnight)

Wide awake in the moonlight
Falling through these dark skies
The silence will set you free
Awaken a destiny

Walking the line between dream and reality
Shedding my skin has since become formality
What if I never wake up?
What if all I’ve done wasn’t enough?
Succumbing to this ever-longing distance

[modifiedMotorsport]

Metal never died just elitists who couldn't expand or open their mind. Metal is better than it's ever been it will always grow. This song hits all the good stuff and goes well with black coffee 😁

[Hangry_Hungarian]

Been waiting from new music from them for a while and they come out with a great song! I can’t wait for more!

[Zharioo]

That's a true banger. Killer artwork too !

[Hymnodic]

This is fire, and brutal. Keep up the awesome work.

[grjmr]

It has become my new favorite just the first time I heard it, it was too heavy in the first part but the high pitch chorus get me and that is what I want in alternative metalcore.
