lyrics

[VERSE 1]

Curse the day I was born
That I may find rest
Hear my cry

As the darkness swallows me whole
The night settles in
Across this barren land
Oh darkness devour
Release me before it began

[CHORUS]

Why is the light given to those in misery
And to the life of the bitter soul
If only my anguish could be weighed
It would surpass the sands of the sea

[POST CHORUS]

Now black it out
Erase me
Pull me down to the edge of the sea

[VERSE 2]

Bracing for the end
I’ll take it in your hands
I feel them now
Eyes of the flesh do you see
As a mortal sees
Across these ancient skies
The shadow devours
would you pull me over the edge

[CHORUS]

Why is the light given to those in misery
And to the life of the bitter soul
If only my anguish could be weighed
It would surpass the sands of the sea

[LoFi]

The sea

[BRIDGE]

Devour me within
The roots of this earth
Now don’t
You run from me
I built this shallow grave for you
My suffering (my suffering)
Is this how it ends

[LAST CHORUS]

Why is the light given to those in misery

And to the life of the bitter soul - Aaron hold this out longer than Josh

If only my anguish could be weighed
It would surpass the sands of the sea
