Perceive//Persist - Moving On Lyrics

I was mistaken
In seeking shelter
From roaring tempests
That were within myself
And now I'll drown

It's taken months to recover myself
But I appreciate your concern
I hope you're thriving and conquering life
I hope you've taken the world
And while you bathe in corruption and greed
While you shed your soul in the mud
I'll be waiting to watch you fall
I'll be waiting to watch you

I've cleaved off my wings in this makeshift nest
For the last time
For the last time

Go ahead
Just keep on living for yourself
And demonstrate
Your foolishness

All those months I was trying to cope
With being left alone in the dirt
I realized I was wasting my time
I realized you were scum
And now I've found a new method to cope
It fills the gaps of your porous design
How I wish I could feed on your qualm
How I wish I could settle the scores

Go ahead
Just keep on living for yourself
And demonstrate
Your foolishness
Tell me
Just what it's like to face this life
Underneath
A veil of influence

Something
Has chained me

Break free
