When hurt by others, we often don't get a reason why. This song is about dealing with coming to terms with that.
lyrics
Verse 1:
It hits me every moment.
I can not stand around.
My shoulders broke the weight,
And yet my heart pieces aren't found
I thought I'd find it with you.
Sought for a crystal jewel
Held by an open space
My heart it starts to race,
But only for a moment
And then the dark starts to set into place.
The pain returns again. My lonely single friend, the mirrors tell the truth.
Hate bred by fate. Missed mistakes all caught.
The truth unravels fast. I can't let time go past, I must act on this moment.
Is it hate? Or is it love?
Bounded by my unbroken gate, the lies corrupt.
In my mind we die in truth. I'm so caught up.
Your fingers lie as perpetrator sticky cause they're covered in blood
Chorus 1:
Reach and I'll find the answer.
Fair for me.
But in time I'll grow much stronger.
The darkness hurts but only strengthens me, hurts you worse.
These lines are blurred no more.
Verse 2:
Regrets start to appear. Never let them come near.
They cause react in ways of which the dark always appears,
Cause Hoboken is sheer, but home-broken is mirrored.
Too easily I loved you when intents were still unclear
There's no respect for you in hindsight you neglected fool.
Try to paint that mirror make my past so undetectable.
Unfurnished conserve it. Pain unwanted but earned it.
Truly the only way to grow was fix the things you burnt in,
But desert me and my whole creed will vanish girl I guarantee this verdict.
No longer will my heart be slaved a servant.
Best that you just unearth it ain't no birth net I adverse shit.
Strangle me no more. What you truly reach for is converted.
Detached and blacklisted too, I stack up another groove.
Contemplate all the lies that you would fling me in attitude.
Sit on your pot pity me then turn back so I know its not a hack
Your chance is gone it's over burned out now let this love fade to black.
But yet you still want more. Reopen all those scars.
But nigh I will regain cause' now I purge you from the frontal of my brain.
So hear me say
Chorus 1:
Reach and I'll find the answer.
Fair for me.
But in time I'll grow much stronger.
The darkness hurts but only strengthens me, hurts you worse.
These lines are blurred no more.
