Dead Roots Invent Animate

Everything you love, you let down
Tell me is it wrong to love at all?
Call me the victim, call me the failure
The ice gets thinner, as i break through layers

Treading through the boundless
I rebuke the blessing that I never received
In hopes of a wish, the hopeless one I’ll never keep

A thousand times before, I’ve been here
On the outside looking in
Poisoned thoughts, from those somber days

I've become the darker half
This is the part of me
I want to go away
I am abhorred;
And allured by this current state of darkness
And in retrospect

I could never be, a shepherd without the sheep
A forest without the trees, an empire without a king
Ambition without a dream, the sand without the sea
In darkness, light persists
In weakness, we resist
