Aspiration

(album: Redemption - 2021)

Days entangled in a web of constant promises
You struggle to keep up, frustrations rise to the top

They tell you you're dispensable, a slave in their machine
Yet you try, you fail, endless carousel of dreams
Your soaring needs trigger their fragility
But a second-hand life is not what's meant to be

Aspire to fly
No matter how high, the candle still burns
You're indestructible, incredible
So break this crystal ceiling and rise above

Time devours all your pride, and all that's left behind
We're all but cosmic dust, swallowed by the sun

Their unrelenting creed feeds your humility
Still, you must try, must fail, until you're closer to your dreams
They've trimmed your wings so you don't escape their plan
It's time to lose this guilt, so resist and revive

Aspire to fly
No matter how high, the candle still burns
You're indestructible, incredible
So break this crystal ceiling and rise above

Now is the time to lose this guilt
Resist, revive
You must carry on

Shadows of doubts
Will cripple your trials
Slurs and contempt
Will not strike you down
In darkness and light
You must carry on
Reclaiming your destiny
No masters, no gods

Aspire to fly
No matter how high, the candle still burns
You're indestructible, incredible
So break this crystal ceiling and rise above

Aspire to thrive
And shed this pain that weighs you down
Become invincible, impossible
Beyond the glass is where your heart belongs
