Track 1 of 5 from The Motion Below's debut EP, "Reform/Converge".
lyrics
Caught in the light of the rising sun. Who am I? What have I done?
And now the cold fills space where blood used to run.
Wasted time breeds wasted life, and as I stand here I gasp, my lungs freezing. Is there a place for me in this world? Or am I destined to live in solitude, until my final breath in this life is wasted on my woes?
How loud I cried for some respite in my mind, falling victim to the demon inside.
There’s no life left in these veins, cut the skin & drain away my pain.
All I crave is to feel the sun, just one more day.
Not a drop of remorse remains, are you ready to let go? Set the mark, let your vision fade to dark and you'll barely feel a thing. And yet so hesitant, you place the blade at your feet. Your life is wrong, but you will remain strong. This is an awakening. This is an awakening, for you and I.
How loud I cried for some respite in my mind, falling victim to the demon inside.
There’s no life left in these veins, cut the skin & drain away my pain.
All I crave is to feel the sun, just one more day.
I have lost near all that I used to know, but I will not let go. Nothing in this life is set in stone, and I know that this curtain call is premature. Undeserved, this hatred reserved for the boy I used to be. Leave, subconscious anomaly.
How loud I cried for some respite in my mind, falling victim to the demon inside.
There’s no life left in these veins, cut the skin & drain away my pain.
All I crave is to feel the sun, just one more day.
The flames burn my sorrow, now I rise again from the ashes. The pieces are now in place, so settle in, and reclaim your fate.
