Invent, Animate - Dead Roots lyrics

Everything you love, you let down Tell me is it wrong to love at all? Call me the victim, call me the failure The ice gets thinner, as i break through layers Treading through the boundless I rebuke the blessing that I never received In hopes of a wish, the hopeless one I'll never keep A thousand times before, I've been here On the outside looking in Poisoned thoughts, from those somber days I've become the darker half This is the part of me I want to go away I am abhorred; And allured by this current state of darkness And in retrospect I could never be, a shepherd without the sheep A forest without the trees, an empire without a king Ambition without a dream, the sand without the sea In darkness, light persists In weakness, we resist My former self was a cry for help Closed off to the world and ones I love A lost cause, with an ounce of hope Clinging to it with everything in me A chapter lost, is a lesson gained May the fire that resides, still remain Remove the thorns from my side Luminous sky above, hear my cry All my life, the angst and agony Take me away, this is my final plea I could never be, a shepherd without the sheep A forest without the trees, an empire without a king Ambition without a dream, the sand without the sea In darkness, light persists In weakness, we resist In darkness, light persists In weakness, we resist
