Lifelong Misery Lyrics by Inner Odyssey

Ascension

2015

I reach for hope with tired eyes
It's scattered all across the skies
As if the stars had realized
It is not here
Cold lips and shaky limbs
I'm witnessing my very own demise
Waiting for a sign to show
From the burning scars of long ago
I've tried shaking it
Escaping it
But it always comes back haunting me
This chronic melancholy
Help me chase this desolation
[With more than medication]
I Feel like a loaded gun
A burglar on the run
[Fleeing my reflection]
I'm my own enemy
[My own enemy]
Help me from this
Lifelong misery
My ideas fall in drips
Leaking from the corner of my mind
My whole world goes into eclipse
Won't you remind me
Of shooting stars and shimmering waves
Across this sea of lives beneath the shades
Gleaming through these iron towers
Stealing away all the hours
Not a passerby
Can hear the cry
Of the spirits adrift roaming the streets
Their beautiful dark melody
Tied down by cold reality
Drowning in the silence of our dreams
There is no defeating gravity
It pulls us down, faster and faster
Spinning you round until you cannot see
There is no escape
There is no escape from the choices that we make
