NO DEFEAT FOR THE BRAVE

(album: SLEEPS SOCIETY - 2021)

There's no defeat for the brave

There's no release, no escape
Two sides but they both shine the same
If we're all at peace with living on the edge
I need a sigh of relief, instead I bottle it up
I know that breathing life into the venomous is getting the better of us
Oh fuck it, sink the feeling to the surface
Tell me everything you think we didn't do to deserve this

There's no perfect escape
No permanent faith that cures our need to be free
Don't give up when you're close to the edge
There's no defeat for the brave
Our solace awaits the day that we feel complete
Don't give up we're so close
Are we ever gonna break free?
Break free

I walk the east to the west
The same road that leads goes back to where it begins
Ignore our greed for the sake of empathy, pause our need for significance
I know that it bites and won't let go
It's the inevitable
Lift the shawl and see things for what they really are
Habituation
I'm that one that ends this

Still looking over my shoulder
Don't give up when you're close to the edge
Don't give in to the the voice in your head
Don't be afraid of the end they said
'There's no defeat for the brave'
Don't give up
I'll never stop looking over my shoulder
A nihilist in harm's way is better safe than sorry
Don't give up
Torment teaches all we've left behind

There's no perfect escape
No permanent faith that cures our need to be free
Don't give up when you're close to the edge
There's no defeat for the brave
Our solace awaits the day that we feel complete
Don't give up we're so close
Are we ever gonna break free?
Break free

There's no defeat for the brave
