​dereliction Lyrics by Foxtails

home

2024

Had a taste, caught a glimpse, ran away, ran away
For the sake of the tango between cowardice and fate
What to do, what to say, how to behave
Crawling out from the ruins, for God's sake
Had a taste, caught a glimpse, ran away, ran away
What to do, what to say

It feels so foolishly short sighted
Apparitions taking over body and mind
It feels so foolishly misguided
Fighting for control and losing either way

Vindicated through ruination
Mirrored remnants line the ground
An unnerving frustration
Spirit now enveloped by the clouds

Running from sleep, running from dreams
Can't take the risk of being seen
Running from sleep, running from dreams
Praying to god for something to break

'Cause if it breaks down all the way it can be built back up
It's been done one too many times, grieving the pieces lost
Gaps in between growing farther apart every time I worry
The mind has a knack for cruel trickery

Under all this pressure
Something inside has to give in, give in, give in
Fighting for morsels of mercy, mercy, mercy
Contending with eternal days and the ache of the chains

Doomed to run around in circles drawing maps
And to question any moment of lucid serenity
Contrived faith in weak foundations
What else is there to hold onto?
An illusion so delicate yet it's all that remains
Doomed to run around in circles drawing maps
And to question any moment of lucid serenity
Contrived faith in weak foundations
What else is there to hold onto?
An illusion so delicate yet it's all that remains
