Another track that was intended to be on the Book of Prime! In fact, if you look closely at the text on the front cover of the Book of Prime, you can see some lyrics from this song. This one was always meant to be a self-aware commentary on my own darker feelings, which are resolved later in the album.
The slow jam at the end of the track was Brayden's idea!
lyrics
What a weight to carry, neglect yourself, your knees the break now
The storms are heavy, ticking clocks don't lie, you feast on yourself
New is strange, tradition poison, break the mould and shatter hope
World in flames, another day of rain, singe and wash away your name
Your regimen has gone too far, standby for a change of guard
Clear the port, tend your scars and bleed out from your healing heart
From your healing heart
You say I shouldn't wait for anyone, you've been here since the path begun
Trust the Templar if his scriptures sustain, Legion lives another day
Staying silent doesn't keep you safe when you're loud in every other way
Young, not ready, girl in time displaced, her smile smirks across your face
Your regimen has gone too far, standby for a change of guard
Clear the port, tend your scars and bleed out from your healing heart
From your healing heart
Don't worry, be silently ashamed, we've given you another day
Hey, wipe those tears, there's nothing left to fear
Sound the alarm, run away, run away!
Your regimen has gone too far, standby for a change of guard
Clear the port, tend your scars and bleed out from your healing heart
From your healing heart
