Black Earth Lyrics by Dayseeker

What It Means to Be Defeated (Deluxe Edition)

2013

[Verse 1]
The needles that pierce my veins are drowning my world in flames
I pray for this to stop but they burn, they burn
No holy book, no plea's to the sky
Will subside the fiending inside my mind
I don't think that I'm ready to die yet
But I'm so close I can barely stand
My reflection shows a demon in me
But I just want this to stop now
[Breakdown]
Can you hear me?
I just want this to stop now
[Chorus]
I'm helpless when my heart is heavy
When there is nothing else
To tell me I am worth the effort to save myself
Amidst the chaos in this sea of flames
My eyes turn from this black earth
[Verse 2]
Everyone I know is looking down
Their eyes filled with shame
And everything I need is right in front of me
But I just need to see
The water that I sink in could be the same I walk on
The water that I sink in could be the same I walk on
[Bridge]
The truth is I'm still learning wrong from right
[Chorus]
I'm helpless when my heart is heavy
When there is nothing else
To tell me I am worth the effort to save myself
Amidst the chaos in this sea of flames
My eyes turn from this black earth
[Verse 3]
The needles that pierce my veins are drowning my world in flames
I pray for this to stop but they burn, they burn
But they burn, they burn
But they burn, they burn, they burn
They burn, they burn my world, I can taste defeat
But I will make sure the earth sees one day that I'll be free from this sea of flames
Black earth, I turn my eyes to see a new world where I can find
Black earth, I turn my eyes to see a new world where I can find peace
