The climb lacerates my will to stand
On infected ground, I plant my urge to dance
Condescending the fear and the chance ahead
To minimize the life that I can't defend
Sabotage my optimism
For righteous abandon of my past convictions
Follow
The shallows
The path winding endless, I cannot see
Swallow
The failure
And my pride with each step I choose to breach
A new day
A new hell
A new way of self torture I can claim
Keep moving
Or give up the freedom and go home again
The hills and rolling flames
Peaking violent expressions of love insane
I can't repent the sins I had made
Tears streaming
Thoughts racing in my mind
Of a world I left
Thoughts racing in my mind
Follow
The shallows
The path winding endless I cannot see
Swallow
The failure
And my pride with each step I choose to breach
A new day
A new hell
A new way of self torture I can claim
Keep moving
Or give up the freedom and go home again, again
The aching
The burning
The resurrection of body and mind
The crawling
The spinning
Surviving a nightmare I choose for mine
