lyrics

even though
i was never strong enough
i could never turn and run
it was all i had

carry on
as if words could write this wrong
as if my deeds could measure up
as though i had not failed

and this bright façade burns right through me
igniting, scorching, smouldering
cinders and ash my only legacy

nothing more
you were only stone before
when i found you all i saw
was my way out

and i cannot separate the spark
from the words i speak to light the dark inside myself
it is a part of me

and this bright façade burns right through me
igniting, scorching, smouldering
cinders and ash my only legacy

it is mine
it belongs to me this time
automaton, Divine
together we rise

and all these grand gestures
they don’t amount to nothing anymore
you see a smile
all i see is War

years ago
you were all i waited for
i did all i could because
you were all i had
