Only Loss

(Album: DAMNUM - 2022)

God chases away the sacred bull
Brazen and filled with souls

Go, set onward for faltering
Goals, inexplicable like ancient tomes
Driven by a source unknown
Perhaps fear of only coming close
Never truly knowing how to hold a future frozen by time
Like ice, unmelting and growing into glaciers

No hope
No hope for going forward
No love in inescapable odds

Serpents that guide them walking blindly
Into bindings that smother their hearts
Pumping blood unlike the rest of us
As oil emerges and darkens the sun

No hope
No hope for going forward
No love in inescapable odds
Only sorrow just as always

Only loss
Only loss
Only loss

Oh nothing slowly becomes my only home
And in the sun it's always cold

The night, it breathes in a weak and rasping breeze
Through the trees as the music of leaves
That burn beneath the blood on my feet
Blend with the thunder that changes
To rain, this pain is sweet
For it seeps into me and reminds me that I am
Alive and also just so tired

I try to find my reasoning mind, but inside
The light that once provided
Is blinding and scorching my weeping eyes

No hope
No hope for us
No love
Against these odds

I try to die under stars as the seamless sky is crying
Hurting for we and our broken dreams

No hope
No hope for going forward
No love in inescapable odds
Only sorrow just as always

Only loss
Only loss
Only loss
