lyrics

the fog is steaming up my lens
and i’m resigning to surrender all i’ve sworn
keep trying to breathe in on command
so i can redefine what helped this to take form

whatever happens not to go my way
when i still keep on planting promises decayed, will i melt?

wait, i’m doing this all wrong
i’m overwhelmed with false reflections i can never reach
if i don’t swim the weight will bring me down
and keep descending past redemption in the breaking undertow

get what i deserve, when plans are betrayed
i won't be deterred, i won't take the wrong way out

run away, far away if you feel the urge
the storm is brave and feeds the pain of all your wasted courage
can't face your own grave if you are submerged
make your focus ricochet into a deeper thirst

wait, i knew it all along
i’m fighting with a preconception wrapped in fallacy
i won't cave against the crashing sounds
then lose contentment with myself to awaken all I know

losing to my needs is just like going through withdrawal
we're better having never started anything at all
the weight of living dreams exceeds far past what i foresaw
increasing ever faster as it overtakes control
