Persevere Lyrics by Artifact

0

Fragmented memories pierce through my skull
Lacerating pain, the black dog has its hold
Catatonic I wait, please give me an answer
My guilt grows malignant just like a cancer
I focus the light, the lens burns my skin
Revealing the pain that i've held within
You were my best friend a brother and a son
Some days I wish it was me who died young

You are home
Lost inside my head
With the memories of the dead
I’ll move on
Lift the stone
This weight that carries on
It's you who keeps me strong
I’ll be alright

An ocean of sorrow stirs from within
Waves crash in unison under my skin
This hole in my heart, forgiveness I need
I don't deserve it no matter how much I bleed
I couldn't bring myself to help, or to speak
But I guess that I have to accept that I am weak
I want to move on, but I can't stay afloat
Its my guess your family is in the same boat

You are home
Lost inside my head
With the memories of the dead
I’ll move on
Lift the stone
This weight that carries on
It's you who keeps me strong
I’ll be alright

So many times I've asked myself, what if I could've done something different, something that would've changed the outcome, something that would've prevented your demise, something that would save all of us close to you. Is this some kind of sick game god plays, does he even give a shit about us? Are we all alone? Nevertheless what's done is done and I'll strive to be as kind as you were. There'll be setbacks, I'll make mistakes and I'll hurt people, but I will do everything in my power to be there for the ones close to me

Two steps forward
One step back
Two steps forward
One step back
Two steps forward
One step back
