Act of Defiance - Dead Stare lyrics

Vengeance, strike you down with no apology Penance, for the depth of my psychology Reaching out, trying to find a place to exist Presence, the moment's struggle slowly consuming me Silence, buried inside the secrets we all hide Essence, all the good within but can't abide The light once had, crushed under black skies Remnants, hopes and dreams ignite, come alive! [Chorus] (x2) Legacy, what would you have me to be? Jealousy, the shell is all that's left to see Heresy, leave me to my misery Remedy, confront my pain peacefully I see myself Falling, into a dead stare The mirror's grimace is more than I can bear Calling, out in the cold dark air Does anybody hear me? Like I'm not there! Falling, into a dead stare The mirror's grimace is more than I can bear Crawling, out of the dark despair Rising from the ashes sinister ensnare [Chorus] Legacy, what would you have me to be? Jealousy, the shell is all that's left to see Heresy, leave me to my misery Remedy, confront my pain peacefully Acceptance, for regrets that past cannot be changed Riddance, shed the skin of thoughts once deranged Through the dark, shards of light pierce the cloud Reverence, avoid the mirrors glances and the shame Crawling from a dead stare Forestalling a dead stare
