Again (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

(album: EQUIVALENCE - 2021)

I had a purpose then, pursing the path to catalyze our dream
But it's a winding road, where you stumble and sway your way amongst the crowd

Don't get me wrong, I would never go back in time or play God
But is there a way I could earn back that endless sky?

I can see it in your eyes
Don't give me that look 'cause, you see
You're the last person I need to pity me

Crying won't pave a way to forgiveness
Every sin you carve is ever lasting
I'm lost in this maze of emotion
Who am I waiting for?

Now, these once blank pages of my notebook
Become a plea to regain fallen virtue
All this time, I've been trying to run away from my own reality

We'll live for something as soon as we find it
I've forgotten, please remind me, as day turns darkness

Expired chances but we gotta make it through again

'Cause there's no where else to run

There's still so much here, a life worth living
And with time you'll drown the feeling out (I'm ON THE WAY)
It's so nostalgic, maybe all the love is worth the pain

It's not a lack of pride
But I know I'm to blame, so I apologize
I don't know what to say
But I wish I could free the worry from your eyes

All we've been through and all that's yet to come
And all that we have become will remain as we roll the dice

Once more, I close my eyes from the sight
But it's all a futile fight, for it's all etched inside my mind

The invite of a white lie
Some can't resist the call to join in
But still, I thought I knew you better than to give into pressure

Once fury thorns in your heart
The fire's quick to consume you
And what comes from those ashes is your reality

We'll live for something as soon as we find it
May we come across that future
Can you hear me? I'm screaming

Expired chances
But we gotta make it through again
'Cause there's no where else to run

It's through your kindness, I'll always be grateful
And I'll strive to become stronger (I'm ON THE WAY)
I'll carry onward, gaining friend and foe along the way

I try to make sense of why
We can't figure how to unlock the next door
We bleed on this path we lead
But we cannot turn back, cause our story's begun
Open up your eyes Open up your eyes

There's still so much here, a life worth living
And with time I'll drown the feeling out
I need to right all my wrongs
And finish all things I've left undone
We've only just begun

We'll live for something as soon as we find it
May we come across that future
Can you hear me? I'm screaming

Expired chances but we gotta make it through again
'Cause there's no where else to run

It's through your kindness, I'll always be grateful
And I'll strive to become stronger (I'm ON THE WAY)
It's so nostalgic, maybe all the love is worth the pain
