Gunpowder Empire - Agony/Ecstasy (feat. Ricky Armellino)

I showed up with ambitions
And saw that they're just dreams
I stayed true to the mission,
The blueprints of my schemes
This world was mine to outwit then,
Cause I never minded the risk
But I had a flaw that could ruin it all,
I had too many heartbeats to care
I used to remember a happiness;
Good feeling deep inside
Now just emptiness,
With no place to hide
I used to feel only pain, soon it became despair
I forgot how to laugh and how to care
And so the pain runs deeper
Tearing into my heart
The agony brings on the tears
Ripping my dreams apart
The ecstasy it doesn't last long enough to give me time to think
I try to grasp at visions
I just lose more and sink
Its as though the pain was a being
Drilled a knife into my soul
I lost the memories of
Smiles and love
Its as though the being had
Killed the dove
Chipped away at my mind
My senses dulled
My senses dulled
And so the pain runs deeper
Tearing into my heart
The agony brings on the tears
Ripping my dreams apart
The ecstasy it doesn't last long enough to give me time to think
I try to grasp at visions
I just lose more and sink
Its taken everything
My courage, soul, myself
I've given in to apathy
I no longer want any help
Although my body still lives on my spirit died long ago
I'm now a lifeless shell, I don't care
I don't know
And so the pain runs deeper
Tearing into my heart
The agony brings on the tears
Ripping my dreams apart
The ecstasy it doesn't last long enough to give me time to die
I see the visions
But I no longer care why
The agony and ecstasy
Have battled and I paid the cost
The war will rage forever but not for me
I've lost
