Failure to Thrive
Rising from Rusted Chains: All Things Lost's Anthem of Redemption
Lyrics
I've forgiven but not forgotten
I have pardoned, but the memories remain
Nothing's changed and you're still rotten
No positive transformation, your nature remains negative
Waiting for signs long come and passed
Awaiting signs that were expected but haven't come
Searching for answers to questions never asked
Seeking solutions to unasked questions
I haven't come this far, to only come this far
I've overcome challenges, but the journey is ongoing
There's strength in numbness and there's power beneath my scars
Numbness and scars carry strength and power
Forgive me for the things I can't do
Apologizing for my limitations
Forgive me for the times I won't move
Apologizing for times of inaction
Forgive me when I cannot push through
Apologizing for moments of inability to persevere
Forgive me as I've forgiven you
Requesting forgiveness as I have forgiven you
I'm not my past, I'm just still adjusting
I am not defined by my history, still adapting
Nothing's changed but my chains have all rusted
No external change, but my internal chains are corroded
Breaking away and leaving me unbound
Breaking free from constraints, finding liberation
It's independence that I've finally found
Discovering and embracing independence
I haven't come this far to only come this far
Continuing the journey, not settling for current achievements
The sky's not the limit when there's light beyond the stars
The potential is limitless beyond the visible boundaries
Forgive me for the things I can't do
Apologizing for my limitations, recurring theme
Forgive me for the times I won't move
Apologizing for times of inaction, reiterated
Forgive me when I cannot push through
Apologizing for moments of inability to persevere, repeated
Forgive me as I've forgiven you
Requesting forgiveness as I have forgiven you, reiterated
GO!
Emphatic expression, possibly a turning point or climax
Forgive me for the things I can't do
Apologizing for my limitations, again
Forgive me for the times I won't move
Apologizing for times of inaction, repeated
Forgive me when I can't push through
Apologizing for moments of inability to persevere, reiterated
Forgive me as I've forgiven you
Requesting forgiveness as I have forgiven you, reiterated
Forgiven you...
The act of forgiveness towards the other party
