paroles de chanson Destruction or Strength - As I Lay Dying

Whether locked up or on top of the world
I felt the same sense of unrest
Pursuing numbers, the approval of others
Outward illusions of success

Just an illusion
An illusion masking restlessness

All ending in a downward spiral
Rock bottom is all relative
Some people lose their homes
And others lose their heart
The sad truth is I lost them both
'Cause I perilously chose to compromise my soul

I could not see past all the distraction
Until everything to hide behind
Until everything to hide behind was gone

Now that everything is gone (I'm free)
Free to see without distraction
There's nowhere left to hide
As I face what is inside, what is inside

Now changing like the tide
Devoid of peace but now finding
What brings serenity and what can be centering
It's not the things it used to be
Because they have been taken and cannot be retrieved

Now that everything to hide behind
Until everything to hide behind was gone

Now that everything is gone (I'm free)
Free to see without distraction
There's nowhere left to hide
As I face what is inside, what is inside

What is left (what is left)
When you take it all away
(When you take it all away)
A battle between desolation and sorrow
Leaving behind destruction or strength

Destruction or strength
Destruction or strength
INSTRUMENTAL

Destruction or strength
Whether locked up or on top of the world
I felt the same sense of unrest
But now it's gone

Now that everything is gone (I'm free)
Free to see without distraction
There is nowhere left to hide
As I face what is inside, what is inside

Whether locked up or on top of the world
I felt the same sense of unrest
But now it's gone (What is inside)
Just an illusion
An illusion masking restlessness
