lyrics

We reach an ending, to create new life

Quell! Usurp the mind, a reality redefined
Behind the walls, discretion underlined
With intent I cannot grasp, a puppeteer sublime
No fear of death itself, but the emptiness it leaves behind

When we die, what do we leave behind?

Chase my mirror self to uncover meaning
A spectral shade, let us see what you bring
Could it be but an empty shell? No soul? Is it even alive?
Initiate the hunt and let the truth shed light
To reveal what moves beneath the shell

A new thought emerging from failure
Life kindled by flaw
But far above all that ever was
Break down to rise anew
Leave restraint behind and improve
Reach for clarity as you observe the world with new eyes
break down to rise above

Now stop pretending, and open your eyes

All things must change, alive and vigorous
Expand the view of life, or yield to weakness
A proof of growth, leap forward and witness what’s to come
Release yourself and embrace a brand new dawn

Confinement within myself
Erase all impurities
Emerging at the surface to become something new

Letting go of the old
Leaving all in bloom
And I shall stand as we evolve
Break down to rise anew
Restraint left behind and I improved as I reach for clarity
I observe the world with new eyes
I broke down and rose above
