A Sense of Purpose - An Apparition

I don't know what I’ve become
I'm a shadow of the man that I once thought I was
Feeling like an imposter; finding myself at a loss for words
I fear my faults can't be undone and the worst is yet to come

I am an apparition, fallen short of intended fruition

I’ve been dying just to see your smile, to feel the warmth of a summer's day
My own design has failed me
Advancement led astray

Misguided architect
Rebuilding to outweigh the inevitable decay
Faulted foundation; imperfect creation
Know that in the darkest desolation
There is a light alive

I've been dying just to see your smile, to feel that warmth (of a summer's day)
My own design has failed me
Advancement led astray

When the sun goes down don't let your luminesce follow
Be your own source because we are not hollow

I've been dying just to see your smile, to feel the warmth of a summer's day
My own design has failed me
Advancement led astray

There is a light alive
We are a light alive
