Dead Roots - Invent Animate

Everything you love, you let down

Tell me is it wrong to love at all?

Call me the victim, call me the failure

The ice gets thinner, as i break through layers

Treading through the boundless

I rebuke the blessing that I never received

In hopes of a wish, the hopeless one I’ll never keep

A thousand times before, I’ve been here

On the outside looking in

Poisoned thoughts, from those somber days

I’ve become the darker half

This is the part of me

I want to go away

I am abhorred;

And allured by this current state of darkness

And in retrospect

I could never be, a shepherd without the sheep

A forest without the trees, an empire without a king

Ambition without a dream, the sand without the sea

In darkness, light persists

In weakness, we resist

My former self was a cry for help

Closed off to the world and ones I love

A lost cause, with an ounce of hope

Clinging to it with everything in me

A chapter lost, is a lesson gained

May the fire that resides, still remain

Remove the thorns from my side

Luminous sky above, hear my cry

All my life, the angst and agony

Take me away, this is my final plea

I could never be, a shepherd without the sheep

A forest without the trees, an empire without a king

Ambition without a dream, the sand without the sea

In darkness, light persists

In weakness, we resist

In darkness, light persists

In weakness, we resist
