Makoshika - Dukkha Lyrics

I will not let go
Bring me down. Confounded
A pain in my heart
A void left from bitter thoughts
Continuous beating, a rattling that baffles me
My wants grow weary with greed, lust and envy
Captured my energy, but I can't seem to shake this thing
What am I doing here? Where have all the colors gone
A sense of yearning or fear, to be stricken by this crisis, I call for help
My choice was hard. Confined by consequences
Yet every step, leads to, suffering
A slip of the tongue, a taste of regret, my burdens root deep, I cannot reflect
I'm blinded by chains, the ones that I cast, all within my head
My will is strong
I will not falter
To the endless temptation
I must remember
I am the master of me
I will not let go
Will not let go
Will not let go
Lift me up. Confounded
My strength grows steadily
With every trial, my resolve is stronger
Of patience and perseverance
The test of time
Resilience turned into productive
Follow the light, misguided greed and guilt
Blinded by the desire to
Be more than most
The pain I felt was never-ending
Misfortune solitude
It only ends, only ends with me
I am the holder of my agony
10 years I've been pushed to the edge of giving up
10 years I've been on the brink, to self destruct
10 years of pain, the anguish turning in my gut
Agony, an angry me, my fears, my guilt, my lust
Now I must release
Like you, I seek catharsis
To repent my sins, to regain my confidence
To reclaim my peace; to be whole
But just remember that I never faltered, I won't relent.
