The Sun, the Moon, the Truth: “Penance of Self”

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You've heard it all before "This time won't be the same, you can trust me" But you know my fucking game Say what I have to, to get what I need Now the evil delivered swings back at me Weak attempts at change Carry me backward Too little, too late Now live with the hurt For everything I have an excuse But some things are not long hidden: The sun, the moon, the truth [Pre-Chorus] Now I live with the hurt Live with the hurt This is what I deserve [Chorus] Break me down The only way I'll learn The guilt is overwhelming Take me out, the pain of me returns My sins fucking destroy me [Verse 2] I am forced to face the fire I create And watch as it annihilates everything Hold me back while I watch it burn The price I pay, the suffering returns Now the hands of fate are here to collect Nothing here is safe until I reflect I run from myself, no end in sight Numb on the inside from living a lie [Pre-Chorus] Now I watch as it burns Watch as it burns This is what I deserve [Chorus] Break me down The only way I'll learn The guilt is overwhelming Take me out, the pain of me returns My sins fucking destroy me [Bridge] You can shelter yourself from the sun And you can hide from the moon But there is nothing you can do When the truth strikes its light on you [Breakdown] Now I must live with the hurt Now I must live with the hurt [Outro] The pain of me returns The pain of me returns The pain of me returns Now I must live with the hurt
