Lyrics Penitence - Voyageur

Insurmountable
This weight that holds me still
Heaven knows I can't save myself
After all I am only discarded parts
That I've used to build myself

There are no excuses left
For the contemptuous wreck
I've let myself become
I'm grasping at straws
Dragging the bottom
Cycling memories lost
Stored somewhere deep within my thoughts
Buried hysteria
I'm still reaching toward the sun

What if I release myself from every notion of failure
That I've crafted to create my own lie?
If this is honestly my only way to scale the summit from darkness
Who's to say I can't take back my own life?

Acclimating to my guilt
Tell me you are waiting still
For a glimmer of the man I once was
Promising to take control
Of the demons in my bones
For a glimmer of the man I could become

What if I release myself from every notion of failure
That I've crafted to create my own lie?
If this is honestly my only way to scale the summit from darkness
Who's to say I can't take back my own life?

Deconstructed the memory of your penitence for lies
Fabricated the formula used to bring about your demise
Fallen angel, you've been forsaken
All of your deceit has led to your final descent

What if I release myself from every notion of failure
That I've crafted to create my own lie?
If this is honestly my only way to scale the summit from darkness
Who's to say I can't take back my own life?

Take this life
Slowly twisting in the knife
May the sun burn them alive
This last breathe scraping slow
Only whispers remain
Fallen figures in the brink of night
