lyrics
A burden that has clinged on to the future of the path I chose,
'Never look back' they told me,
Why does it always come back to haunt me.
I cannot see what lies ahead,
Only a reflection of the burns that I've endured.
The scars remind me that my failure was far from a dream,
My vision blurred I'm struggling to see.
My ribs are closing in on my lungs,
It's getting harder to breathe.
Mistakes I've made can never be replaced,
In this hell that only I have paved,.
Pressure in my chest is never ending,
I plead for mercy as my soul needs mending.
I forgive it all yet still I fall before my ghosts.
Past, future, present haunts as I dwell on all my faults.
I'm reminded of the wrongs I've done everywhere I turn to look for a better way.
The shackles around my ankles tearing at my flesh as I try to drag myself out of the depths that pull me down.
No resentment can mask my burdens,
Not even karma can change my fortune.
Ahead a life of misery awaits me,
Only I am what's wrong with me.
I forgive it all yet still I fall before my ghosts.
Past, future, present haunts as I dwell on all my faults.
This is what I have become,
Bury the remains of everything and let them stay below.
My pain and all the struggle I've fought through,
I still stand here to this day, I will always see it through.
Product of pain.
Through misery came tranquillity,
This past has shaped me into what I've come to be.
