(Heavy, distorted guitar riff starts)
Verse 1
We carry the weight, our own self-made cross
Every mistake a perpetual loss
A privileged pain that we choose to embrace
Every burden, a shadow on our face
Oh, the peace we ignore, the quiet we kill
The needless ache of an unbending will
All because we don't drop the dead weight we own
And face the silence of standing alone.
Chorus
Is there a wire to cut, a line to disconnect?
A secret channel for all the disrespect?
We’re drowning in noise, nowhere left to run
Just take the whole damn mess and face the setting sun.
Is there a faithful hand, a name we can shout?
To share the damage, to let the darkness out?
Verse 2
Temptation’s a mirror, the trouble’s inside
No place is safe where the shadows can hide
We're worn out, discouraged, running on fumes
Trapped in the wreckage of these empty rooms
Do you know a face, a true reflection?
One that won’t break under inspection?
Yeah, they know every crack, every fragile thread
Just take the whole damn mess that’s ringing in your head.
Chorus
Is there a wire to cut, a line to disconnect?
A secret channel for all the disrespect?
We’re drowning in noise, nowhere left to run
Just take the whole damn mess and face the setting sun.
Is there a faithful hand, a name we can shout?
To share the damage, to let the darkness out?
Bridge
Weak and heavy, crushed beneath the stone
Every care a burden, every soul alone.
When your inner circle, they all turn away
When the anchor breaks and you can't face the day
They'll wrap you up in that hollow, empty space
Find your cold comfort in that dark embrace.
Outro
Take it all…
Take it to the void.
