Tempest - Respire

Dripping wet, I awake to face this hell

Lash for lash, we beg forgiveness in a shallow grave

Filling in with all that we let die

Bloodstained hands in blind contempt

As we watch the world go up in flames

An uncaring race (Let it crash)

To the edge of bliss (Let it die)

Off the precipice

Over and over till there’s no longer

When did we ever care (Write your status, fall in)

What’s my recovery in a world that’s past recovering?

We suffer all (Let it crash)

To reach some end (Let it die)

Like Sisyphus

Over and over till there’s no longer

(Life) Serenity dawns

(Life) As the fires grow

(Life) As the clouds bellow

(Life) As a heart still pines

I can’t breathe

With the weight of the end bearing down

All things must come to pass

The birds, these waves, our plans and mistakes
