Ebonivory Persist Lyrics

Every step of the way
Can you forget what they say
That every moment is a debt left to pay
We need them to be wrong
We've suffered far too long
Your weary eyes
Tell me you long for life
One day you'll find
What's keeping you under

Darling
You've been asleep
For far too long
It breaks my heart
To watch you learn

This life has been the calm before the storm
And suffering is all that makes us whole
Every step of the way
Knowing I won't be a part of your breakdown
I'vе been reduced to a name on a screen in thе life of someone that I once knew So say goodbye
If you think I'm not long for life
One day I'll find
What's keeping me under
Darling
I've been awake
For far too long
It makes me sick
To watch this f*cking world turn

This life has been the calm before the storm
And suffering is all that makes us whole again
[x2]

It's never ends
As punishment
For keeping it inside us
Holding it close; it defines us
But what if we're wrong?
The urgency and misery
Are faithfully what's keeping me alive
