Will Guitard - Tragic Glimpses Lyrics

Something's on my mind
And every single day
I'm reminded of what could be
And I know what to say
Seen it all before
yet new ones come to light
It could happen any time
And ruin any life
I hold my tongue
Restrain my actions
See what could be
And pray it doesn't happen
And the darkness that I see outside
It amplifies
The desperations grows
And the fear begins to rise
Irrational, misplaced intent
And all the strange things that I've said
Too afraid for the whole thing, just the parts
The only choice is to move ahead, but it's hard
When everyday its the same
And there's nothing to blame
It's just my chance and my fate
And I'm not wanting to wait
For the shadows to end with time
By then I may be dead and gone
The strange peace that I find
With knowing there's no way
And there's no choice but to change
And to walk away
And not entertain
I've thought it all through
And it's still eating away
It's a joke, it's a pain
But more than a slow decay
It's all the time when I'm awake, something's got to change
Same demon as before, just a different face
Catch a glimpse of a tragedy, and wish it away
It's not the likelihood, it's the wait
Every day, every day, what's the purpose
I try to think them through but only reach the surface
Images of death and pain everyday
And I neutralize them all in a ritualistic way
Irrational, misplaced intent
With all the time I've spent
And all the energy I've given up
To conjure up these
Lies, and the truth
And the silence, is the proof
And it eats away, eats away, eats away
Tragic sight, in faded light
It's easy to see but it's hard to fight
So I'm holding on, holding on, holding out

Something's on my mind
And every single day
I'm reminded of what could be
And I know what to say
Seen it all before
yet new ones come to light
It could happen any time
And ruin any life
I hold my tongue
Restrain my actions
See what could be
And pray it doesn't happen
And the darkness that I see outside
It amplifies
The desperations grows
And the fear begins to rise
Irrational, misplaced intent
And all the strange things that I've said
Too afraid for the whole thing, just the parts
The only choice is to move ahead, but it's hard
When everyday its the same
And there's nothing to blame
It's just my chance and my fate
And I'm not wanting to wait
For the shadows to end with time
By then I may be dead and gone
The strange peace that I find
With knowing there's no way
And there's no choice but to change
And to walk away
And not entertain
I've thought it all through
And it's still eating away
It's a joke, it's a pain
But more than a slow decay
It's all the time when I'm awake, something's got to change
Same demon as before, just a different face
Catch a glimpse of a tragedy, and wish it away
It's not the likelihood, it's the wait
Every day, every day, what's the purpose
I try to think them through but only reach the surface
Images of death and pain everyday
And I neutralize them all in a ritualistic way
Irrational, misplaced intent
With all the time I've spent
And all the energy I've given up
To conjure up these

And the silence, is the proof
And it eats away, eats away, eats away
Tragic sight, in faded light
It's easy to see but it's hard to fight
So I'm holding on, holding on, holding out
