Periphery Mile Zero lyrics

It starts as one festering feeling.
The kind that cuts from the flesh down to the soul.
No way to make amends for the time behind the door.
Street lights feed lies straight to the mind of the wishful wanderer.
How could he give up?
No second chances to say goodbye.

Wrapped in this cold, nostalgic energy from cries of the ones who are buried.
Ascend beyond.

Life is ruthless and chock-full of pain.
It lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not coming back again.
I will miss you my friend.
Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls with the love that will stain the darkest of nights.
You left to join with the stars,
I cannot shake this off my chest.

In death we grieve until all have transcended from this realm.
In time we will meet again.

Suddenly I can feel the connection between dimension ties.
Open gut on the floor.

Trembling down to the core.
What is this?

It's been a long ride without you.
I'm lost inside my own world.
There's not a single day where I feigned the acceptance, but it's a somber stroll down this road that we call life.

The silence still is crawling out of my sedated sight.
How can I be free?

Wrapped in this cold, nostalgic energy from cries of the ones who are buried.
Ascend beyond.

Life is ruthless and chock-full of pain.
It lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not coming back again.
I will miss you my friend.
Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls with the love that will stain the darkest of nights.
Left the journey alone, but I can find my way back home.
