Perseverance - Sirena

Another face in the dirt

She’s just a joke to you

I hope you laugh it up

As she’s crying in her bedroom

Window blinds shut

It’s easier to cut

Get away from the world

And your passive trust

This is just a game

With friends to hide behind

But playing’s not so fun

When it results in suicide

These goddamned kids learn too late

The repercussions of their words

Lead to heartache

Keep your head up, princess

I know it’s hard to breathe

When you starve roots underneath

A cut will turn to scars in time

But you shouldn’t have to pay

For the failure’s mistakes

This will come to pass

Another chapter down

The story’s changing so fast

These shadows they will not last

These shadows they will not last

How could you look

In your daughter’s precious eyes

And promise her

Everything will be just fine

But you walked right out the door

Now she doesn’t have her father

Anymore

You were better dead

At least there’s closure

You would have gone out the hero

That you showed her

The worst mistake

Was coming back to her life

Now the hero has become the strife

Keep your head up, princess

I know it’s hard to breathe

When you starve roots underneath

A cut will turn to scars in time

But you shouldn’t have to pay

For the failure’s mistakes

This will come to pass

Another chapter down

The story’s changing so fast

These shadows they will not last

Don’t let them get

Under your skin

You’re better than them

Now go prove it

Keep your head up, princess

I know it’s hard to breathe

When you starve roots underneath

A cut will turn to scars in time

But you shouldn’t have to pay

For the failure’s mistakes

This will come to pass

Another chapter down

The story’s changing so fast

These shadows they will not last

These shadows they will not last

(These shadows they will not last)
