By My Own Hand

I've got to pick up the pieces by myself to reconcile
Inner peace to seek, in my final hours
In declination I've built these towering walls around me
It's too late now, no turning back from the course that's been set

My life is falling apart
And I tried, I fought with fortitude
The time has come to break free
All by my own hand

I can't decide, what's really right and what is wrong
Can't see clearly, distracted by affliction
Seeking shelter behind a shield of eternal rest
Never again, no rules to follow, this is about free will

My life is falling apart
And I tried, I fought with fortitude
The time has come to break free
All by my own hand

Nothing in my way
Reaching for higher ground
Oblivion of being
There's a time for everyone

I'm gone too far, beyond redemption
And all is well that ends well

I've got to pick up the pieces by myself to reconcile
Inner peace to seek, in my final hours
In declination I've built these towering walls around me
It's too late now, no turning back from the course that's been set

Nothing in my way
Reaching for higher ground
Oblivion of being
There's a time for everyone
All by my own hand
