Perceive//Persist - Eternity Room Lyrics

Through mutterings of lies
You attempt to spill an ounce of truth
You find the phrases are caught on your lips
Ensnared in the trap of your conscience
You refuse to face me
So just store me under your trapdoor
I'll be safe there I promise
At least I'll be safe from you

I've been living a lie
You made me think I was safe
We said this room was eternal
And not contrived in carnality
Where's the genuine that I used to know
Orange to white to green and now I can't keep it down

Now I get it
What a parasitic notion
That you would take my breath
Just to feed on it and raise yourself up
And though I'm left craving more
Of this bittersweet taste in my mouth
I guess you got all you need from me
So just store me away in your attic like a ghost

When it turns to midnight
And I enter 2020 as 23
I'll still be asking
The meaning of your ever-cryptic
"Too much"
You're too much

I've been living a lie
You made me think I was safe
We said this room was eternal
And not contrived in carnality
Where's the genuine that I used to know?
Orange to white to green and now I can't keep it down

Every night I saved for you
Every second I pursued
I wasted so much time
On forfeiting my mind
Now the embrace was only a lie
No matter the duration
Uprooted faith
Battered defense
You make me sick to my stomach
I wish
You could feel
What you
Put me through

I've been living a lie
You made me think I was safe
I've been living a lie
You made me think I was safe

I've been living a lie
You made me think I was safe
We said this room was eternal
And not contrived in carnality
Where's the genuine that I used to know
Orange to white to green and now I have to convince myself
That every word you said was a fabrication of my own desires

We said this room was eternal
