Catharsis

Lyrics

[Intro] It's summer, so they say I sit and watch the sunlight turn from red to grey [Verse 1] One look backward, the image is fractured I never thought I'd get this far when every step treads in the shards A journey incomplete, I pull the glass out of my feet And put back the pieces like broken bones healing [Pre-Chorus] So what does it matter So what does it matter when pieces I gather Are torn up and scattered I crack, snap, and shatter my bones Feel my skin turn to stone again [Chorus] Affliction's left its mark on me My temper vapid and heartless Submission force feeds my apathy But every breath is catharsis [Verse 2] Cautious & optimistic Life fucks me up sometimes but I don't want to miss it I'm still wading through this bull shit And I meant it when I said it Life will eat you if you let it [Pre-Chorus] So what does it matter So what does it matter when pieces I gather Are torn up and scattered I crack, snap, and shatter my bones Feel my skin turn to stone again [Chorus] Affliction's left its mark on me My temper vapid and heartless Submission force feeds my apathy But every breath is catharsis [Bridge] All cut and sewn, so overgrown I am the rocks on the shore Your waves always break over me Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core I gave up trying to run away It's with me every step I take Rise to my feet This earth will never know my knees [Outro] (All cut and sewn) My temper vapid and heartless (So overgrown) But every breath is catharsis I am the rocks on the shore, (All cut and sewn) Your waves always break over me Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core I gave up trying to run away (So overgrown) It's with me every step I take Rise to my feet (But every step is catharsis) This earth will never know my knees
