Persist Lyrics by BOXTALK

Off Axis

2024

[Verse 1]
I sleep but I’m not well rested
I breathe but I’m always breathless
I live but I’m not invested at all
I speak but I’m never sharing
I see but I’m simply staring
I love but I’m never caring at all
[Chorus]
A shell of a man persits
To a skeleton he’s stripped
A shell of a man persits
To a skeleton he’s stripped
[Verse 2]
I hear but I never listen
I’m near but I’m always distant
I feel the space from me to you
I cheer but I’m just pretending
I steer to an empty ending
I play but I blindly follow suit
[Chorus]
A shell of a man persists
To a skeleton he’s stripped
A shell of a man persists
To a skeleton he’s stripped
[Bridge]
Its like here then I’m gone, like my body hates my soul
One second I am present then the next I’m only bone
The blood in my veins seem to drain till I’m cold
I can feel that I am slipping but it's easy to let go
I’m mess I’m wreck like a ship on the shore
I am broken I am empty I’m a walking living corpse
Try to sweep the debris but its bound to the floor
I hate this self destruction but I always beg for more
Oh, bring me back
Bring me back, bring me back
Oh, bring me back
Bring me back, bring me back
[Chorus]
A shell of a man persists
To a skeleton he’s stripped
A shell of a man persists
To a skeleton he’s stripped
