Hard Truths Cut Both Ways

(albüm: Thousand Mile Stare - 2017)

Filling up from empty 'til the tank is replete
Fueling tension inside from the years of deceit
Got to find the purpose of the strain in the seams
'Cause we focus on a moment
But our life's in between, yeah!
Think you should die for
Obsessiveness to strive for
The future's just the present
With a mask over the eyesore
Not another second searching for redemption

If I pray to your god
Would you forgive my mistakes
If I accepted your love
Would you remember my face

Even the sharpest sword
Will eventually rust
Even the dullest blade
Can make the deepest cut

Look at the faces of those
That were entrusted to me
Feeling the weight of the world
To hold the strength of your beliefs

Relentless drive towards singular focus
Reject the mantras of
The beaten and hopeless

Even the sharpest sword
Will eventually rust
Even the dullest blade
Can make the deepest cut

If I pray to your god
Would you forgive my mistakes
If I accepted your love
Would you remember my face

Scars line up like steps to climb
You sew up yours I'll sew up mine
Scale the wall of our regrets
Marching forward to the death
To the death
