lyrics

everything I've ever been through
started off as something truly pitiful

some things manifest from within me
some things were slated to get to me from the beginning

everything I've been dragged through
was some part of a sick tutorial
into a killing game, you've got to swallow this life's pain
fated from the start, some things are meant to fall apart

sometimes we have to break our ribs
just to finally feel the weight of it
just to pry open the cage, release all of the shame
come face to face with every way that we've let a part of ourselves decay
a part of ourselves left to whither away
how could we get any stronger if we just continue to coddle
everything inside, desperately screaming to feel life

sometimes we have to crash under all the weight
of everything we've been too afraid to face, until we can't escape it anymore
sometimes I think the raptures emotional
everyone will hit a point where their whole life comes point blank
with everything we've learned to hide
everything we've protected all our lives

ultimately it doesn't matter who you are
people come to devastate, that's just who they are
ultimately it doesn't matter how good you are
fated from the start, sometimes things just have to break apart
for us to see what we've really been truly needing
everything here before us is something we've built to succeed

nothings really fair, but it's whole still
evils really there, but there's good, too
everything inside you deserved to see
the daylight coming in through all the cracks of your defeat
some things are a killing game
some things are meant to be slated with pain
