Lonely Soldier (feat. Vice)

You're frozen In a lake full of every kind of danger All around you It's taking over And you don't know where to go and so you Breakthrough You take your time To realign to your surroundings But somethings just not right You're just a lonely soldier Mechanical wonder And you've been through the fire And out from under I'm lonely And I don't know what it takes but I don't fit in In this place There's no one else here I'm all by myself and that's how I feel I take my time To realize that it'll fall apart If I mine this iron heart I'm a lonely soldier Mechanical wonder And I've been through the fire And out from under We take our time to Survive But how will you know when You crossed that line Indisposed I find my spirit frozen Sapped and diminished From the path I've chosen A lonely walk Between dusk and darkness Crave the morning light Which I refuse to harness A lonely soldier Or a broken man Or a chrysalis bursting In my squeezing hand If I relax my grip I might spread my wings But that'll take some effort And that's a daunting thing I've said in previous lives That imma light this fire But I remain lukewarm And shriveled in pain I keep an eye on my mind And on my latent desires Ever searching for an ember To kindle a flame And there isn't a remedy For crippling self-doubt And shame-filled memories And there isn't a science To the art of being It's just self-discovery And that's what's heavenly I've just begun to see That the fruits of life won't just come to me I find myself wondering If the flame I crave Will ever come to be But of course that ember's hidden deep inside Only recognized by the eternal eye And of course the struggle is mostly in my mind Which is deeply humbling Against the grain of generations of pain Epigenetically embedded in our bones and veins It's a viscous beast and it can be slain And its armor slow sundering The siren call of these luxuries That constant psychic hungering Even so alone we must believe And that mere belief is so comforting We're just lonely soldiers Mechanical wonders And we've been through the fire And out from under We're just lonely soldiers Mechanical wonders And we've been through the fire And out from under
