I was wrong and I can’t believe
That it’s taken me this long
To recognize adversity within me
I have tried to extinguish these demons
What does it take to see the silver lining?
When we live in a world of spite and denomination
I have chosen to see the darkest forms of circumstance
Yet I’m the critic without direction
It’s time to let this go
I’ve stricken down your words
With nothing more then a baseless perspective
And I’m cheating my own mind into believing
Your thoughts are worthless
You don’t deserve this
I thought I’d be your voice of reason
To guide you to a better place
But I cannot dictate your direction
This has killed my way of interconnection
And it’s leaving me in a strain of remorse
That I just can't shake and decide to relegate
I know I need to ease the blame
The time is now, I’ll learn my faults, I need my mind to remember
Rise then fall, it’s been the way that I’ve atrophied
I want to grow and learn my place, devoid of imperfection
Take a look inside
There wasn’t anything that seemed amiss in me
I would just dismiss the force that I portrayed
It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me
And I was wrong
It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me

This is 1 of the best instrumental albums I've heard, EVER. Top 3: this Wide Eyes, Andromida (Timeless), & The Algorithm (Compiler Optimization Techniques). thevossman
I was quickly overwhelmed the moment I listened to "Interlude." Oriental atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt is very intertwined through all. Supreme Truth has something in common with Linkin Park's Meteora. Catsfist
