Fated to Despair Lyrics by Alustrium

Insurmountable

2020

[Verse 1]
A sigh of stale air echoes
A cut down to the bone
Serrated blade digs deeper
As blood and trust flows
No good deeds gone unpunished
No saint left un-betrayed
The sun rises to another sleepless and unrelenting day
[Pre-Chorus]
A familiar chorus plays as a bridge burns again
More faith and hope misalign
A tired lesson learned again
[Chorus]
Faith in God? Failed
Faith in self? Failed
Faith in others? Failed
Faith in salvation? A joke
Cries for help: ignored
All outreach: ignored
My emotions: scorned
Message received: worthless
[Verse 2]
Waiting with bated breaths for opportunity to knock
Silence, thick and viscous
Absence, tangible
Effort is unacknowledged
All given, none got
The sun sets on another empty and valueless day
[Pre-Chorus]
No eyes weep for me
Seeing only what's to gain
Surprised, despite the repetition
Healing wounds ripped open again
[Chorus]
Faith in God? Failed
Faith in self? Failed
Faith in others? Failed
Faith in salvation? A joke
Cries for help: ignored
All outreach: ignored
My emotions: scorned
Message received: worthless
[Bridge]
---
Cause and effect
So, what's the reason for this?
Predetermined to fail
Destined to ache
Fated to despair
[solo]
[Verse 3]
And in the end, it's all for nothing
A lost cause
There's nothing to be gained, except perdition
All efforts to improve only increase the pain
Each day, I feel I'm moving farther from the goal
Things cannot, and will not, get any better
My muscles atrophy before the cancer spreads
And skin rots
[Pre-Chorus]
The greatest lie ever told: "Lean on me when you're weak."
Delusions hammered home
The end light seems so bleak
[Chorus]
Faith in God? Failed
Faith in self? Failed
Faith in others? Failed
Faith in salvation? A joke
Cries for help: ignored
All outreach: ignored
My emotions: scorned
Message received: worthless
[solo]
