Cost of Sacrifice: Decaying Foundations and Hope's Price
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Worse days are coming

Anticipation of more challenging times ahead

I can see it in your stare

Observation of apprehension or concern in your gaze

We feel resentment start to settle

Sense of developing bitterness or hostility

Disintegrating a day at a time

Deterioration occurring gradually over days

Foundations crumble

Fundamental elements collapsing

Before my eyes

Witnessing the breakdown firsthand

I am a well for you to draw from

Being a source of support or resource for someone, exceeding one's capacity

Far past capacity

Overflowing or overwhelmed beyond limits

Under the surface

Internally deteriorating, decaying beneath the surface

I decay

Personal degradation or decline

Cracks in your frame precede a flood of regret

Indications of damage or weaknesses preceding strong feelings of remorse

Panic twists its shape beneath the surface

Anxiety taking form beneath the outward facade

Fear grows in inches

Fear growing gradually, slowly consuming

And shatters me into fragments of a whole

Feeling shattered into pieces that should not be allowed to develop

I can't allow to bloom

Refusing to let something negative flourish

Hands worn raw

Hands worn out due to holding onto hope for change

From holding onto hope that things could change

Intention to distance oneself for the well-being of another

I'll push you away for your own sake

Attempting to find peace amidst the chaos

And try to find peace in the wreckage

Lack of self-confidence or trust in one's own judgment

No trust left in myself

Belief that time will eventually heal emotional wounds

The sun will cauterize our wounds in time

Feeling broken into sharp and painful fragments while trying to hold them together

Parts of a whole have shattered into jagged and serrated shards

Awareness of enduring pain as attempts are made to maintain coherence

Cutting me open as i struggle to hold them together

Slow, deliberate pain caused by numerous emotional wounds

A thousand incisions will bleed me slow enough

Gradual bleeding out of emotional pain, allowing for prolonged suffering

For me to watch every passing moment of regret in my mind

Regret intensifying over time, leading to bitterness

Grow into months and years of bitterness

Despite the consequences, seeking peace by closing one's eyes

though it comes at a price

Realization that one's absence could bring about a better life for another

I'll find peace when i close my eyes

Hope that time will eventually heal emotional wounds

In knowing that without me

Sacrifice necessary for eventual healing or resolution

You will find a better life

Concluding that healing comes at a cost

The sun will cauterize our wounds in time

Reiteration of the belief that time will heal emotional wounds, despite the sacrifice

At the cost of sacrifice

Acknowledgment of the price required for healing and resolution
