Counterbalance - Counterbalance Lyrics

Feared my own shadow and thought I'd never get it
Masochistic, hollow, and so god damn pathetic
As you gave me a life, I stole, I'm now indebted
A never winning hand I dealt for you and bet it

Bound to the glory of darkness in a sense
I burned what I saw on your side of the fence
As I waited and I hated; for the sun from up above,
To descend into the sea from the beaches without love

All th' kings horses and all th' kings men
They were never, ever able to fix me back then
With all it was: the bleakness; the foreshadow of the lens
You put me all together without formal amends

To fear your own shadow and the hell that's spewed from it
The fighting was a daily, as you shine and shine for it
Though the clouds cover over the night sky in the forest
You shine, and shine, and shine, and shine
The fire burns for it

You never ever, ever, ever bowed down to it
I know you've spit so far into the darkness for it

I know you'll always be there
I know you'll never leave my side

Never

As the days became shorter
And the nights became longer
You'd gather up the candles as the darkness hovered over
And you'd dive into the trenches
As my entire being wrenches
And even when...
I cut you...
Then...
Your wound will be there...
It'll never fully heal...
A constant reminder of all the guilt that I feel
And, even now
Though very well deserved
I will know my place and shrine your grace for as long as you have served
So from now on...
Until the day that I die
Gratitude is what I'll feel for every day that you have tried

And now to address the gutless cowards
Who've mocked us
Who've made our lives oh, so much harder
Hear me
We don't care
My loved ones laugh at the ass that you are
Stupid
And senseless
So clueless
I have my thoughts to share with you now...

Try

Do better
Be better
For all the world around that you live
Family
I love you
I owe this "thank you"
