Do you hurt yourself to feel alive
When you open these old scars
Or to see if someone’s hand
Moves to stop you along the way
Do your demons really exist
Or are they the monsters that you continue to create
Relive nightmares and painful days
Unmake the walls that have kept us safe
Risk all to be free of the weight
Rebuild ourselves in a better way
Seek not glory
(Seek not glory. Strive for release)
(Let the serpents lay. May they stay underfoot.)
Strive for release
Acceptance has made you
Invisible in this world
Fear tells us we’re never good enough
Make the choice to use these burdens
Relive nightmares and painful days
Unmake the walls that have kept us safe
Risk all to be free of the weight
Rebuild ourselves in a better way
Seek not glory
(Seek not glory. Strive for release)
(Let the serpents lay. May they stay underfoot.)
Strive for release
Whats the point in mourning
Shadows forever cover you
Sacrifice for the spectacle
Or to get out of your skin
Asking for forgiveness
In an endless cycle
Seek not glory
Strive for release
