Perceive//Persist - Adopt Your Ailment Lyrics

Face down
In this hole that I've dug for myself
I'm caught in a wreckage
Can I make a choice?

Redesign my own anatomy
Question how I'm built
My bones are cracked and torn apart
To form a brand new entity
My body begs and it pleads for rest
As my mind insists on finishing
The marathon that it's running
When will this ordeal reach an end

We carry the stars on our backs
We carry them in vain

I walk the path beneath my feet
With a lantern by my side
I cannot win this fight
I can't afford to waste my time alone
Yet I just don't feel at home entangled in this lust

So now we reach the time again
Of abstract desperation
Of seeking confirmation
So now we reach the point again
Of senseless defamation
Developing fixation

Break away from every sense of security that I've held
As long as it stands for the greater good

I walk the path beneath my feet
With a lantern by my side
Forever burning bright
And now I risk wasting my time alone
I just hope I find a home
Somewhere in this lust
