Cambyses

And crawl You gotta get back to the top Find a will or way The ground is loose between the rock The floods coming You fall You let it flow again Now crawl Down on your knees Spit Choke Losing your hold Breath The current is strong And the water is cold You pass all the shallower waters You stumbled Your tumbling down You keep going You fall Your vacant You're beaten and broken The wreckage All tumblin down For now You gotta a lot to lose Ripping up this shit To lose Look at you drowning in it By the light of the moon you had drawn me out Like the siren sound Just like the siren sound I was stuck in a daze couldn't figure this out Til I looked around Now look at what I've found With the shovel in hand and the sweat on my brow I was digging down Know I should drop it now But I keep digging down Drowning down in the hole that was centered around The post that held me down The thing that held me down God how do I get out? The light that flowed when we were close was swallowed whole You know you'd choke Seize it You had the dream you had the prize you had it all But you couldn't give it up But you couldn't give it up You wanted to trust But you couldn't give it up But you could let us down But you couldn't give it up You tackled all of this at once But you couldn't give it up But you couldn't give it up You truly knew what we had done But you couldn't give it up But you couldn't give it up A living nightmare Unable to tame the fucking animal You were wrong The collars right there Put it on You fucking animal It's safe to say The will to rectify and change Will fade With all thse woven paths we take Day after day You will not recognize the pain Before you fray And I'm starting to feel like I'm coming undone Like the wars that we wage may not ever be won Yeah you seem them The miserable beings Who take what they've become And I guess it's not just about making the change It's taking the steps of the path that we laid In the summer without ever wondering why We are nothing but the branches that stem from where the seed was laid Beaten by the wind and rain til we're twisted every which way We may never ever change every branch that surely went astray Keep on pushing anyway even though you know you'll probably fail Just take your aim To be on top of it all I can feel myself losing my breath As it leaks from my chest I begin to fade away again And lose its longing gaze So quick to shy away And make it back around the bend The kick the knee and cave it in and send it all Back down We were not made to bear the weight Of making mistakes We'll fight, deny and force the blame Any other way If you forgive yourself for fraying For walking away You'll learn to recognize the pain The pain We are nothing but the branches that stem from where the seed was laid Beaten by the wind and rain til we're twisted every which way We may never ever change every branch that surely went astray Keep on pushing anyway even though you know you'll probably fail Just take your aim To be on top of it all
