[Lyric] The Stain of Life (Artisan (Metal))

[Verse 1]
This pace of life is controlling me
I've severed ties with reality
Sitting out of life and feeling cold
Detached emotions, breaking from the fold
Will they leave me here?
Can't carry on, I fear
Won't they pull me out
From this life I doubt?

[Chorus]
Don't wanna fall, but it's getting deeper
I can't climb out, and I'm getting deeper
Won't colors touch me like in the past?
The stain of life is fading fast

[Verse 2]
Can I be direct and to the point?
Some friends have gone, and I've wished to join
I wonder, would they be here with me?
Or risen bright and forgotten me?
Will you return?
Won't you help me to learn?
Please help me to return?
Won't you stop my burn?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've severed ties with reality
Sitting out of life and feeling cold
Won't they pull me out
Of this life I doubt?

[Chorus]
Don't wanna fall, but it's getting deeper
I can't climb out, and I'm getting deeper
Won't colors touch me like in the past?
The stain of life is fading fast

[Bridge]
Are these words becoming truths?
The molding holds it all inside
Still, I live in fear
Though I see and hear
Falling off the chair
This static life, I am aware

[Solo: Ian Jekelis]

[Pre-Chorus]
I've severed ties with reality
Sitting out of life and feeling cold
Won't they pull me out
Of this life I doubt?
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fall, but it's getting deeper
I can't climb out, and I'm getting deeper
Won't colors touch me like in the past?
The stain of life is fading fast

Yeah!
