lyrics

We were promised more than we’re asking for
I ain’t innocent, I ain’t humble
It’s a risk
So I start a conversation when my soul runs out of patience
I lie to me

What if I’ve been chasing chain reactions?
Following after light; undone right away
I can stand the weight of the dark when I find out, I can breathe in it
I wake at night
In my mind I made it so far

So far away

Creation in destruction
Intertwined and in between
I erased the maps that I draw anyway
I dissolve in memory

I grow tired of war
Sick of fighting for all these delicate deductions
They fabricate
Undermine the conversation
Ignorant indoctrination

Waiting around to figure it out
They lie to me

What if I’ve been chasing chain reactions?
Following after light; undone right away
I can stand the weight of the dark when I find out, I can breathe in it
I wake at night
In my mind I made it so far

So far away

Creation in destruction
Intertwined and in between
I erased the maps that I draw anyway
I dissolve in memory

It’s alright
I’ll be fine
I could stay alive
I can’t battle the edge of the knife in disguise

I’ll play along
I’m so tired of choosing a side
Embattle the edge of the knife

What if I’ve been chasing chain reactions?
Following after light; undone right away
I can stand the weight of the dark when I find out that creation in destruction are intertwined and in between
I erase the maps that I draw anyway
I dissolve in memory

Oblation, deconstruction
Such a rare undue disease
I forgot why I had come here anyway
Counterfeit reality

I’m so tired of choosing a side
Embattle the edge of the knife
