Heavy song with heavy vocals.
Lyrics
Like the weight of a thousand worlds crushing on my back I feel the weight of your expectations. I can never meet the requirements you have placed on down on me in this, the end of time and space.
like the weight of the chains you used to bind me to your rules and youre expectations. I can't relate to the world you created me in anymore and it is time i regained myself my independence.
I need a break
I need to take
some time away
far from this place
give me some space
try to erase
where you can't chase
will hide my face
Far from the world I once called a prison, I'm finding out that this life was not what I expected. I'm alone and cold in this world of steel and stone where no one can save me from myself this time.
Breaking me apart they show me where I have made mistakes and didn't meet their expectations. I'm laying here bleeding the last of my life into the dark river wishing I could come back to you.
I should have figured it at the start that you really did know what was best in your expectations. You only had my best interests in mind but that didn't feel as easy as I wanted it to feel.
I broke your heart and spat in your face when I abandoned you and all your expectations. I defiled what was holy and righteous and now I'm not sure I can let you take me back.
I took a break
I can't escape
all my problems
expectations
I got my space
but can't erase
the memories
your blessed face
After all, you created me and set me here in this world with a simple little set of expectations. The least I can do is be grateful instead of spitting in your face like I have so often done before.
If you take me back now I will do everything that I can to be better and follow your expectations. I'll be everything I should have been and I will continue to do whatever you think is best for me.
