lyrics

Pry me out of my seat
A repeat of history
I've only tried to walk a straight line
Set upon all my days

Trauma
Stress
Pain
Induced upon you
Induced upon you
Induced upon you)

When I first beheld Him, he rode high on an ivory steed
Though I knew him not, I felt his darkness following me
Then He was gone, I awoke weary from the ground
Had it really happened, I pretended not to know

Left to die by those seated at my very side
It should have been a clue, but I was young and blind to truth

Pale;
Cold and white
Downward to the west
The light lays itself to rest
Still time to get it right

When I escaped my shackles, I saw Him once again
This time was intentional as I meant to confront Him
"Know this, I reckon who you are and I know why we've met;
Just take what you're looking for."
"I will," he said, "not yet."
Tried to die, permanently damaged inside
It should have been a clue, I'll throw it away if I want to

Pale;
Cold and white
Downward to the west
The light lays itself to rest
Still time to get it right

The third time I saw Him, many years had passed
I'd forgotten about Him, until I could hear his mount's steps
His visage in the mirror was much more ghastly, he regaled
A spectre staring back, blood red eyes and ghostly pale
Left to die by these choices of mine
It should have been a clue, but it hurts less than the truth

Pale;
Cold and white
Downward to the west
The light lays itself to rest
Still time to get it right

Be that I would deny Him and abscond with what he wants most
Better to die by my own hand, than live a life devoid of hope
I never did believe in fate, put too much trust in love
I've been betrayed so many times, but I still blame myself
When I die, the choice will be mine
It should have been a clue, my farewell to all of you

[lead: Naman Sachdev]

My scars, glory
Rapture in torture
Breaking apart
See, the wound in my side
Yet here I stand
See the brokenness
Inherent in my bones
These eyes view straight through you
To off and far away
A place
A hole in the dirt you don't know about
King of all scum
Here I reign
In the black sunshine
A place you'll never hope to go

Nothing but pain is real

He's there amidst the twisted metal
The sound of hooves on broken glass
There is He looking down at me
And utters an obscene laugh

Wreckage // Ruins on the Beach
Debacles follow one another
I never had a chance
Uncontrollable
