A New Life

from System of Command by Absence of Truth

/

lyrics

This road of pain
It puts me down
I reach in
And pull it out

You parasite
Feed on my happiness

I wake up enveloped by ocean
I swim up but can't escape

And it was you who pushed me down
Who kept me under when I nearly drowned

A new life
Stepping back from the image of myself
And as the candle lights
Live for that chance to fight

This road of pain
It puts me down
I reach in
And pull it out

Where were you when I was fending for myself

Then take it all back
To the place you left me behind

I wake up enveloped by ocean
I swim up but can't escape

And you'll burn

Hear me out
I know you've heard it all before
You never wanted to escape the pain
You just wanted more

How dare I be content
With the life I'm given

When you spend your life cursing everything
Nothing is ever as it seems
Though it might be hard to grasp
All we break is the heart inside ourselves

And it was you who pushed me down
Who kept me under when I nearly drowned
You feel no guilt in your blackened soul
Fuck it all, you will never become whole

I wake up enveloped by ocean
I swim up but can't escape
