∘₊✧─── LYRICS ───✧₊∘
Who sings this song about us, pain and sorrow?
I stared at my reflection, thinking
About my mask and my pretending, the lies I built up
The pain repeats again and again, a cycle that will never end and
The weight of my sin nails me down even if I fall

Is it the future falling? Our gods exposed and lying?
My legs keep trembling as I move forward
Despair of it all
Emptiness follows you here, this never-ending war
I'll trust in our future, I'll rewind it all

Never forgive, and escalate it now, and escalate it now
I need someone to look away
Pray in my name, to ancient gods above, to anyone who'll listen now
Again, again, again it spirals out, one thing
Why do we keep fighting if it never ends?
What is it that I cannot let go of yet?
If there's still some hope for new beginnings I will find a way

Searching to find the truth, there's no tomorrow
A pattern in this unending dream
I'm acting like I figured it out, but still, I'm searching

Same vision repeats itself, a paradise, collapsing
The outcome of a life filled with defying, resisting me
I must be near to break down
Release me, I'm in pain
Take me back to where we can have faith today

Never give in, and escalate it now, and escalate it now
I can live and die for the sky today
Give me a name, to shout out with my strained voice, to remember through all the noise
Again, again, again the storm evolves, always
Are you still resisting till the very end?
There's a spark of light still deep inside your eyes
Is it shining from the battles that you've won or pain inside?
