Oath Lyrics by Split Iris

Bloodred Dusk

0

Standing here I know there's more I could've given
For what it's worth I fought, oh I fought
But some things won't bend only with passion and thought
It's something else we sought...

Something suppressed a lifetime ago
As a means to cope with this life and getting through
A world such as this
Falling into the abyss
Trying to keep it silent, but it resists

Falling further down, seeing no tomorrow
Thinking this is all I deserve, living on time I borrow
Everything I tried to preserve, abandoning me in my sorrow
An empty shell, a living hell, making existence hollow

Standing hеre I know there's nothing I wouldn't havе given
For what it's worth I fought back the only way I was taught
But I know the end is something I brought upon myself
Is this what I sought?

A fleeting sensation, a flicker within
Something which was always there
Making me care once again

Pass on the fire to carry the promise
Carving it into my skin
To never forget the words
But soon I'm gone
Oh, please don't let it die out with me

What's left to be when any of this will no longer suffice
A story bought to supplement the emptiness of lies
Where I once had something to hold on to
Somewhere buried to be forgotten

All the years of sacrifice, the knowledge gained
How fragile it ended up being, hanging by a thread
Hanging, hanging
When it breaks what is left?
Will it all be lost?

That fleeting sensation making itself known to me
Showing something that could be
Making me see

Faced with the imminent
Resurfacing from within
All that I tried to forget
It demands to be known and heard It has been silent for too long
In the name of self-empathy
Making my life absent of it, making it worse for myself
Don't let me slip it screams at me
Don't leave it fade to emptiness

Pass on the fire to carry the promise
Carving it into my skin
To never forget the words
But soon I'm gone
Oh, please don't let it die out with me

Don't leave
Don't leave me
Don't leave
