I fear not
I fear not a return to the dark
Nor the ash, nor the moment I cease
But the thought of leaving a mark unchanged, so incomplete
Time has removed the worst of my afflictions
But how am I to actualize while lacking any friction?
Enter decade three, sanctuary. I'm comfortable and complacent
I try to bury it now and then. I try to bury it now and then.
But I feel knotted 'till I set up the replacement.
Eventually it will happen again, it happens again, it happens again.
There's an enemy that gets the best of me
It's the worst of self defeat
It's a tidal force, a misdirected course
It's a pressure, bittersweet
This self compression, destructive in the end
Eventually I'm aware that it will happen again
It happens again
It happens again
It happens again
It happens again
I fear not the ash, nor the moment that I cease
But I won't leave a mark unchanged and incomplete.
I fear not the ash, nor the moment that I cease
I'll never leave a mark, a mark that is unchanged and incomplete.
Bright we burn and to dust we will return
I know this part of me is cut from the stone
But I'm not falling in line while I'm biding my time
I will never let an idleness sink into my bones.
