Six in Original Writings

Comatose
Another dose
Sink beneath the river of ashen waste
Violence
Silence
A broken vow is screaming out your name

Pity how the mighty avalanche
But every crack exposes evidence
Fault lines in your soul will guide you
Shifting earth will paralyze you
All our destinies are entwined - six feet down

Come alive
Love your life
For all we know we’re guaranteed one
Disavow
Awaken now
And we can sleep in peace when we’re done

Pity how the meek give up the ghost
If only you had known that you were so close
Fault lines in their fortress cracking
Shift the earth, the temple’s crashing
All our destinies still entwined - six feet down

Such a powerful balance to the balance of power
Whether we’re kings for a life or an hour
In the blink of an eye, we all come to die
And this struggle will matter no more
You will not be remembered for what you amass
You will live on in hearts left behind as you pass
In our final release we will welcome this peace
And we’ll question why we ever went to war

Pity how we all clash together
Shameful to know that we will do this forever
Fault lines in the world remind me
Hate will never hypnotize me
All this conflict won’t mean a thing when we’re six feet down
