Descent

(album: A Sign Of Things To Come - 2023)

Damned
I'm tied to this fucking stake
Venomoid like a captured snake
All I can make is a fist
But there's nothing left to break
Condemned
Faced with exile
We live like we're on trial
I've searched for something to feel
And all I felt was denial

They said it's coming for all of us
But we fell on our swords and we never got up
And it feels like the walls are closing in
Maybe they are
And we're afraid to see it
We'll deny our descent

Can't erase the mistakes so I vent
Can't carry the discontent
Some wounds don't heal
'Cause we pick the scabs over and again
Losing sleep on a blank page
Grinding teeth on my own cage
No empty kingdoms to reign
So I'll build my own to deface

They said it's coming for all of us
But we fell on our swords and we never got up
And it feels like the walls are closing in
Maybe they are
And we're afraid to see it
We'll deny our descent

I grew cold waiting for my deliverance
All I know is the taste of bitterness

A severed leash
But no one set me free
A cut through the rope with my own fucking teeth

They said it's coming for all of us
But we fell on our swords and we never got up
And it feels like the walls are closing in
Maybe they are
And we're afraid to see it
We'll deny our descent
