Timelines in Ashes: Chapter Three

The damage is done, killed our charade. Set fire to bridges we make.
Inaudible, the silent scream. Torture in the place of a dream.
They were a city in disguise. Looking through plagiaristic eyes.
Breathe hollow words into the night. "Hello" This is goodbye.

The Battle was lost, took by surprise. Darkness to cradle in new life.
The noose is fit, the rope is frayed. Think of the reflections we once made.
The mirror now, in pieces lays. This unmarked status we retain.
Far passed the point of no return. And now what have we learned?

We're still giving you one last chance to give up your self-righteousness.
My mind has been made up. It seems that your best isn't good enough.

And all it took to save
Etched a celestial imprint on my timeline.

Affairs set apart my trust in lies. The ashes of our past arise.
A note to all whom it concerns: stand up as we watch our fires burn.
Consider this our final cry

My effigy always facing the satellites I've been chasing.
