Meet Me At The Gates
(Verse One)
Open book, endless rage
Blood splattered across the page
Ranking horror on a gage
Stories kept inside a cage
I think it’s time to free the bird
It’s time you hear me word for word
What turned my heart into a rock
You’ll finally see me pop the lock
You may have seen a fragment clip
It isn’t safe for toes to dip
There’s fish in here just here to bite
They swim up currents out of spite
Approaching this just as a shark
I hope this helps me make my mark
I think i’m running out of luck
Now no one’s left to give a fuck
(Pre Chorus)
Lurking through the empty halls
The secrets lie beneath my walls
Distort disaster, make me small
Distort disaster, make you tall
This is my mind in darkest state
The road ahead is staring straight
If you want to know the fate
You’ll have to meet me at the gates
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Verse Two)
If I want to leave my print
I must leave more than subtle hints
For right now, just this one clue
But soon you will see every hue
Some darker than stormy nights
Optimism seeming slight
My tongue was chained by every tooth
Still stinging but ready for truth
Parts of me are having doubts
Of letting all these secrets out
But if i want this wound to heal
You need to know just how I feel
You’ll learn why my connections chopped
Once I go there I cannot stop
I hope some hear this and forgive
Fully move on and truly live
(Pre Chorus)
Lurking through the empty halls
The secrets lie beneath my walls
Distort disaster, make me small
Distort disaster, make you tall
This is my mind in darkest state
The road ahead is staring straight
If you want to know the fate
You’ll have to meet me at the gates
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Bridge)
We’re at the gates, please take my hand
I’ll guide you through this tortured land
Look every single step you walk
Please do not think this all was talk
What lies ahead is beyond wrecked
You will not get what you expect
If you go in, you’ve signed the deed
It’s now the time, please do proceed
You’ve signed the deed, please do proceed
You’ve signed the deed, please do proceed
You’ve signed the deed, please do proceed
You’ve signed the deed, please do proceed
