The Great Triumph

I've been looking for a way
For you to pull me back
Sold all I had to sell, but took my time
To grasp what you left there for me

(Left there for me)

Self-sacrifice will not sway me this time
I hear no prayers of those
Who leave themselves behind
You'll have to reach it on your own

Whatever they might say this time
I won't be swayed by the voices of
The same old place I always drown in
The thoughts that I obeyed
The restless breaking waves are gone
And now I know what I have always wanted

The design was never meant to be this flawed
All the plans we've made are right outside the door
What does it matter to me

Nothing feels like coming home
To set my soul ablaze
Can't set my soul ablaze
Only fading, this memory I have of myself
To set my soul ablaze
What would it take to make it back

Whatever they might say this time
I won't be swayed by the voices of
The same old place I always drown in
The thoughts that I obeyed
The restless breaking waves are gone
And now I know what I have always wanted

I can't let go of your treason
It's all for show, yet I stare
To feel alone was always easy
From under your throne there's no stairs

I should've known, now woes are legion
Pushing me down
Tearing a hole
Drowning me again

Is this all I get for always having faith
What makes you think there won't be
Retribution for this mess you've made
Forever to wonder if I was to blame
Now that's one way to make an escape

You thought I would just back off
With tail between legs, think again
I am here to see this to its end
No woe is to stop me from achieving this goal
And I know it from the bottom of my soul

And you can tell me that you're sorry
It won't change a thing
And you can tell me that you're sorry
It won't change a thing
And you can tell me that you're sorry
