Anesthetic Suffix
Every day I pass by this altar, or maybe it's a stake
Where sacrifices are burnt in exchange for protection
Throw a torch and vanquish the condemned to prove you're human
Seek out and destroy great evil so it can light up our lives
One day, they'll find it in my heart what's the point of trying
If in the end I'll find myself burned away to nothingness
Be a good person and you'll have nothing to fear
Somehow, those words don't inspire confidence in me
But with the new understanding
I can make sense of everything
Following an ancient canon
Parts repeating and overlapping throughout time
Tracing the old steps
Writing new lines to find my true self
Following an ancient canon
Weaving it into a new explanation
From the bygone dust
A new me will rise again
The shards gathered here claim to be above the trash they hate
But all their prayers are calling down for the same sins
What am I supposed to conclude from this
In upholding your ideal, you break it
If time exonerates me then you'll be tied here too so give me an answer
But you're blinded in a world that tells you what things must be
So I must bring forth the world that will see things in my way
Be a good person and you'll have nothing to fear
Somehow, those words don't inspire confidence in me
But with the new understanding
I can make sense of everything
Following an ancient canon
Parts repeating and overlapping throughout time
Tracing the old steps
Writing new lines to find my true self
Following an ancient canon
Weaving it into a new explanation
From the bygone dust
A new me will rise again
The call to adventure came to me many years ago
I knew I had to leave that which is normal behind
Now I'm straddling the line between fiction and reality
Crossing the threshold from the natural to the ersatz
When I show myself they'll look upon me in contempt
But when I reveal my reasons they'll know it all to be real
And so everything starts falling into place
Even if I can't stay in this world anymore
I'll always remember what I must hold onto
Even if I must carve my own path
Try to find my way out of here
Though I spent aimless years living in this place
Now I must go out into the new world I discovered
Where sacrifices are burnt in exchange for protection
Throw a torch and vanquish the condemned to prove you're human
Seek out and destroy great evil so it can light up our lives
One day, they'll find it in my heart what's the point of trying
If in the end I'll find myself burned away to nothingness
Be a good person and you'll have nothing to fear
Somehow, those words don't inspire confidence in me
But with the new understanding
I can make sense of everything
Following an ancient canon
Parts repeating and overlapping throughout time
Tracing the old steps
Writing new lines to find my true self
Following an ancient canon
Weaving it into a new explanation
From the bygone dust
A new me will rise again
The shards gathered here claim to be above the trash they hate
But all their prayers are calling down for the same sins
What am I supposed to conclude from this
