LYRICS:
I should've seen it sooner,
but what can 'should've's do for me?
You know, I heard a rumour
that I couldn't quite believe.
Eyes might tell the truth
but words have power to deceive.
If it suits their speaker,
there's no story they can't weave.
And so, in you I put my faith.
I threw my trust behind a friendly face.
Couldn't name one safer place,
yet here I am. I watched it go to waste.
I could ask 'how could you?'
but I know the answer's just 'because you can'.
Funny how the worst part is
I finally understand.
But I've faced down far worse than you
and you can't keep me from the truth.
I could go through all of this again.
I feel the past like it's brand new.
The phantoms hover just in view.
You are not enough to hold me down.
You won't wring any tears from me,
nor quiet admissions of defeat.
As far as I'm concerned,
we're not anywhere near the end.
Where there's a heartbeat, there's still hope
so I won't give up on my ghosts.
I'll carry them until my final breath.
Tell me, is it true
or is it my imagination?
There's no exit built into
this maze of your creation.
You talk like it's against the rules
to turn this game against you.
You've got it wrong. I'll tear your walls down
if that's what it comes to.
I won't break in front of you.
I'll hold on 'til I've gone the whole way through
and if I end up on the floor
it's fine, 'cause you won't see me any more.
And though you put me through hell,
I know I chose my battles well.
I'm in control. I'm taking over.
This story's mine to tell.
And I've faced down far worse than you
and you can't keep me from the truth.
I could go through all of this again.
I feel the past like it's brand new.
The phantoms hover just in view.
You are not enough to hold me down.
You won't wring any tears from me,
nor quiet admissions of defeat.
As far as I'm concerned,
we're not anywhere near the end.
Where there's a heartbeat, there's still hope
so I won't give up on my ghosts.
I'll carry them until my final breath.
Once upon a time, I wanted
you to tell me why it wasn't
good enough for you to have
the whole world at your feet.
But now I've had some time and distance,
I know better than the listen
to a single syllable
you'd want to say to me.
Every word you spoke was poison.
Your heartfelt speeches, hollow noises.
And I'm kicking myself 'cause I just couldn't see
how you could go this far.
I don't stand here 'cause I want to.
I never wanted to fight you.
But what I want's irrelevant now.
Look at where we are.
And I've faced down far worse than you
and you can't keep me from the truth.
I could go through all of this again.
I feel the past like it's brand new.
The phantoms hover just in view.
You are not enough to hold me down.
You won't wring any tears from me,
nor quiet admissions of defeat.
As far as I'm concerned,
we're not anywhere near the end.
Where there's a heartbeat, there's still hope
so I won't give up on my ghosts.
I'll carry them until my final breath.

Another amazing track from you cool lady? This is awesome! ♡ But also, hey question: I noticed you removed the original version of Thousand Angels and Watch Out You're Being Watched from the channel, I wonder why, did you feel embarassed or dislike them because you feel they dont hold up anymore? Because I understand if it is that, but I seriously miss them I really loved how they sounded and prefer them over the newer versions, perhaps due to nostalgia because I heard them during a pretty convoluted period of my life So if you uploaded them elsewhere like Spotfi or they are available on Patreon or some other place with a Payfall it'd be very grateful if you let me know, I really treasure those memories and how your music made(and make) me feel

For the sake of my relate three songs to Fire Emblem Three Houses vibes on this album, I wanna say this one reminds me of Dimitri. The beat is so triumphant but the lyrics are so heartbroken! But what if this connects to your other albums 👀
