For The Best

Step outside of your chambers
And break to pieces with the day
Why are you hiding?
What is chasing you anyway?

Up and spinning circles
Lost amongst your world
Castles built on lies
Silly little girl

Embers burning in the distance
The fire is coming close
The world is crashing down
Soon you’ll be nothing but a ghost

And this is where you are
A shadow in the dark
Swings slowing to a stop
And leaves blowing in the park

Shallow seas rush in
And the beach begins to disappear
And in a flash of light
No one will be here

And in the distance there’s a call
Not a call, but a scream
A scream that shatters the silence
With nothing left to redeem

And in an endless search for salvation
You run down haunted streets
And the demons chase you down
To where sea and city meet

Drowning in your lies
Water filling up your chest
The breathing’s getting harder
And all of this was for the best
