Lyrics for The Alter

Oh recourse Our nature is a force So, cut it at the source And go A life without remorse I'll obey Though i am afraid Of what it is to be alone Awake And happiest at play I'm all smiles Confident and wild Wired with every instrument Control And careless all the while Until i recall Everything and all Is wrong Panic is a slow Dissolve A terror quiet calm
