First Everlasting

(album: Fake Names - 2020)

Whispering shadows
Whispering to me to let it in
A man corrupted
A man encaptured by his sin
I felt the darkness it was soothing
Like a promise against my skin
Show me salvation show me the future
Show me the past who I could've been

First everlasting
First to fall
First everlasting
First to fall
Show me wonder show me failure
Show me redemption I need it all
First everlasting
First to fall

A weakling's plea
A desperate cry for a better truth
Endless posturing
Endless hunger for an ideal you
But I know the value of self loathing
Of defeat another bitter fall
Show me a lover show me a fool
Show me a god I've been them all

First everlasting
First to fall
First everlasting
First to fall
Show me wonder show me failure
Show me redemption I need it all
First everlasting
First to fall

Maybe it's just me
It's just me and it's all that I'll ever be
Maybe it's just me
It's just me and it's all that I'll ever be

First everlasting
First to fall
First everlasting
First to fall
Show me wonder show me failure
Show me redemption I need it all
First everlasting
First to fall
