Devastator
Devastator: Unveiling the Struggle Between Belonging and Betrayal
Lyrics
A hate that outweighs love
A strong dislike that surpasses affection
Sold like water to the drowning
Exploited or traded easily, like water to someone drowning
A frozen core
An emotionally frozen core
A thicker skin I have grown
Developed a thicker emotional defense
Detached and loveless
Emotionally distant and devoid of love
Devoid and numb am I here
Feeling empty and emotionally numb in the present
You must first belong to betray
Betrayal requires a sense of belonging
I've done both I fear
Admits to both betrayal and belonging, expressing fear
Faceless and haunting me
Faceless and haunting memories
Something I'll try to shake
Attempting to overcome or rid oneself of something haunting
Until my heart and veins run dry
Willing to endure suffering until emotional resources are depleted
Faceless and more than I can ignore
Faceless and overwhelmed by past actions
A reflection of a time that I long to not recall
A reflection of a regrettable past that one wishes to forget
But one we can't let go
A shared burden that cannot be easily discarded
For all my faults
Owning up to personal shortcomings and mistakes
For all my wrongs lay bare
Accepting responsibility for past wrongs
And at this time
Feeling discarded or treated as carrion in the present
I'm just carrion to them
Being seen as lifeless remains by others
For all my faults
Owning up to personal shortcomings and mistakes
For all my wrongs lay bare
Accepting responsibility for past wrongs
And at this time
Feeling discarded or treated as carrion in the present
I'm just carrion to them
Being seen as lifeless remains by others
Sure, I've bled but I've always healed
Experienced pain but always recovered
I don't believe I deserve to mend this time
Unsure of deserving recovery this time due to accumulated wrongs
Because all my wrongs lay peripheral
Previous mistakes are on the periphery but still haunting
And they haunt me every single night
Nightly torment from past wrongs
Sure, I've bled, but I've always healed
Experienced pain but always recovered
I don't believe I deserve to mend this time
Unsure of deserving recovery this time due to accumulated wrongs
Because all my wrongs lay peripheral
Previous mistakes are on the periphery but still haunting
I've belonged
Belonged to a group or cause
I've betrayed
Betrayed a group or cause
But one we can't let go
A shared burden that cannot be easily discarded
