The Defeatist

Been devoured by jaws of defeat
What was supposed to make me stronger
Turned around to see a change of perception
I saw the candle, it burns no longer
To stand tall in the face adversity
Takes more than I ever had to give
If there's room for a final question
How can you die if you never lived?
Defile denial

Never bleed like ghost
Never show what lies behind the mask
Walls ever reflect echoes of the past

Picking up these shattered pieces
Feels like moving mountains
Turned around, caught a glimpse, a reflection
Saw the light, it shines no longer
To catch yourself as you're falling apart
Takes more than just the will to live
If there's room for a final question
All you took but what did you give?
Defile denial

Never bleed like ghost
Never show what lies behind the mask
Walls ever reflect echoes of the past
Never needed the ghost
Never knew what lies behind the mask
Blind eyes shall see how long these echoes last
