Epiphany
The Word Alive · Deceiver [2010]
You think I'm weak?
It's called honesty.
Believe me,
here's your epiphany.
Just let go.
Your inner thoughts betray you.
I need to just let go.
It'll wear me down.
Unless I learn to finally pretend.
But I know that won't happen.
Oh it feeds and feeds.
It breaks down everything.
Destroys the life that I've been seeking.
You try to force your way in so you fight and fight you're battling.
I believe, nothing is what it seems.
There's something you don't know, a place you'll never go.
There's something you don't know, you need to let go.
You run from everything you can't control.
Let go of control.
It will wear me down.
Unless I learn to finally pretend,
but I know that won't happen.
Oh it feeds and feeds.
It breaks down everything.
Destroys the life that I've been seeking.
You try to force your way in so you fight and fight you're battling.
I believe, nothing is what it seems.
Oh it feeds and feeds.
It breaks down everything.
Destroys the life that I've been seeking.
Oh it feeds and feeds.
It breaks down everything.
Destroys the life that I've been seeking.
Oh it feeds and feeds.
It breaks down everything.
Destroys the life that I've been seeking.
