Absolved Of The Strings And Stone

(album: Bleed - Abide - 2022)

Addicted to the thought of what could be
But what I see and what is makes myself the enemy
Alone I sat with my own grief
Questions unanswered with no sign of relief

Yeah I meant well you're right
And it didn't mean shit

You swear it's in your head
And they would never put you down
Now you're on the ground
With the rats that they rule above

Now you justify their actions because they convince you you're wrong
The fire they've set underneath
Is fueled by their own disbelief
It's time, it's time to fucking wake up
Shit!

Listen to your own words and stop being a coward
They don't give a fuck
You've let them have the power

Erase the memory
Toxic apathy
Enough

Claw your way out before it's too late
Claw your way out before it's too late

Erase the memory
Toxic apathy
Because there were so many

So many signs
And I couldn't admit
Sometimes you can't see
Except in hind sight

Break the chains
Take the crown
Escape your hell
Know your worth and rise up
Remember when you fell
