Silver: SSD

I've had enough of the knife, had enough of the bleeding
Healing, repeating
I bowed to the wrong oligarchs, constructed to kill it
Spill it, shill it
Down to the chapel, I needed it, needed like Jesus
I can't believe I feel this
'Cause while I'm definitely breathing, I'm obliged to leave it
Grieve it, seal it, conceal it

I can hear from the sound of the amplifiers
I'm not defying this
But they wanted me to bleed from the mouth
I'm going south, going down
I'm breaking out

But what if I die tomorrow, would I be truly be gone?
Live through the shores of a lonely land
Or I stand by the heels of a broken man
May my fate be of my taking
Made from stars, made from awakening
Destiny was already mine before the afterlife
I need defining in the silver lining

As if the dagger never healed
As if I bent to my knees, falling harder than a tyranny
Of arrows aiming close to the ground, even closer to the heart
I was doomed to depart from the weight I carried
To the land, to the valley, to the heavens down the alley
But the things I'd do to recover from you

Born to bare through the meaning, the meaning of screaming
Dreaming of clearing my mind
As my spirit depleted, I stared at the ceiling
Losing will to breathe in

Was it all for you?
Was it enough? Was it enough?
I broke my nail, and now my nails dug deep inside my eyes
Was it all for you?
Was I enough? Was I enough?
All I can bare has forced my hand
It's not my time to say goodbye

But what if I die tomorrow, would I be truly be gone?
Live through the shores of a lonely land
Or I stand by the heels of a broken man
May my fate be of my taking
Made from stars, made from awakening
Destiny was already mine before the afterlife
I need defining in the silver lining

As lords behold us casting sunlight
In life we're weak, but death's not what we seek
I'm breaking down, inside I know I was never found
Body in the river, it's the narrative they deliver
I drew first blood under the hood, I was born to turn around
Turn to sever the ties, sever the cuffs
They weren't enough to keep the spirit out
I walked the plank I suffered the flame, drove into jaws of pain
Pulverized by demolition
Now the gods won't keep me down

So if I die tomorrow, I'll be far from gone
Living through shards of hope that lasts
I survive through winds of a broken man
May my fate be of my taking
Made from stars, made from awakening
Destiny was already mine before the afterlife
No more waking up thinking I'm already far from gone
Because I found the lightning in this silver lining

Find your silver lining
