lyrics

i’ve destroyed a perfect path
broken by what i could not forget
so i’ll become everything i hate
and i will turn forever in my grave

if we’re born with the burden of a heart we’ll never mend
and we live at the feet of mountains we cannot ascend
and we die with regret for what we wouldn’t let begin

then i’ll cast my righteous skin and damn what remains
until the curse is coursing through my veins
and i’ll bloom and breathe, awake to what we’ll never be
breed disease to tear apart a memory
but i can’t forget to remember

desolation isn’t real if there’s nothing left to feel

we’re all born bearing the weight of time
we all live clamoring to survive
and we all die longing to feel alive
