Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm a glutton full of hate and tragedy
The cat o' nine has become my sympathy
I've given myself a thousand lashes
A cyclical cycle of insanity
[Verse 1]
You want to find me
The trail of tears you're following
Will lead you 20,000 feet deep
This chasm swallowed me entirely
[Bridge]
I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
I can't breathe
Water surrounds me
I can't breathe
It's all my own doing
All my own doing
Landslides are caving in
Not a hand in sight worth the reach
I can't breathe
It's all my own doing
[Verse 3]
I'm losing grip to get a hold of myself
I've been so lost, lonely, and resentful
Fear from the lack of understanding
Leaves a lack of passion and desire
[Bridge]
Destined to die
Destined to die
[Chorus]
I wouldn't pray this on my enemies
I can't change the pain inside of me
I don't want to end this way
I can't face another day
[Chorus]
I wouldn't pray this on my enemies
I can't change the pain inside of me
I don't want to end this way
I don't want to end this way
[Refrain]
One day I will look down knowing I ended
There is restoration in the distance
Where the sun sets
One day I will look down knowing I ended
So I could begin again
There is restoration in the distance
[Verse 4]
I abandoned myself
Left with the gift of breathing
That I took for granted
Thankful it isn't leaving
[Verse 5]
Now hope becomes pointless without purpose
Why would I need faith if I've got the answers?
I used to believe that belief was so senseless
But now it controls all of my senses
[Bridge]
I found the strength and the power to emerge from my darkest hour
[Outro]
Forged by failure
Agony can't exist where gratitude lives
Forged by failure
It's not where we go to die
It's where the chosen live
[Outro]
Forged by failure
Agony can't exist where gratitude lives
Forged by failure
It's not where we go to die
It's where the chosen live
