Thorns
Unraveling Shadows: Confronting Personal Demons
Lyrics
Anxiety dripping down your brow
Anxiety is visibly apparent on your face.
Bite your lip until it bleeds
You endure pain silently, holding back emotions until it becomes intense.
Before you make a sound
Pause and think before expressing yourself.
Finally, the embers all rain down
Finally, the remnants of a once-burning passion or connection fall apart.
And splinters in your mind
Your thoughts are disrupted by emotional pain.
Are kindled as you come unwound
Your inner turmoil intensifies as you lose control.
If I never see you again
If I never encounter you again, it would be preferable.
It'll be too soon
A strong desire to distance oneself from the other person.
You and I were never the same
We were never alike or compatible.
You know it's true
An acknowledgment of an undeniable truth.
Find the answers on your own
Seek solutions independently; I won't rescue you.
I'm not here to save you
I'm not here to be your savior.
From the thorns you place in your side
The consequences of your own self-destructive actions are the thorns in your life.
Dark days will chase you
Difficult times and challenges will pursue you.
Dark days will chase you
Reiteration of the inevitability of challenging times.
I tried to show you the truth
I attempted to reveal the truth to you.
You closed your eyes
You chose to remain oblivious to reality.
You can't play the martyr
Rejecting the role of a martyr when you are causing harm to yourself.
When you're killing yourself
You can't claim martyrdom when your actions are self-destructive.
When you're driving the thorns
You are responsible for the pain you inflict upon yourself.
In your own side
Reiteration of the inability to be a martyr when self-inflicting pain.
You can't play the martyr
Emphasizing the contradiction of claiming martyrdom while causing self-harm.
When you're killing yourself
Reiterating the inconsistency of claiming martyrdom while causing self-harm.
When you're driving the thorns
Highlighting the contradiction of martyrdom and self-inflicted pain.
In your own side
Emphasizing the contradiction of martyrdom and self-inflicted pain.
If I never see you again
If our paths never cross again, it would be preferable.
It'll be too soon
Reiteration of the desire to avoid encountering the other person.
You and I were never the same
Affirmation that we were never alike.
You know it's true
Acknowledging the truth of our dissimilarity.
Find the answers on your own
Discover the solutions independently; I won't be your savior.
I'm not here to save you
I'm not here to rescue you from the consequences of your actions.
From the thorns you place in your side
The repercussions of your self-inflicted pain are not my responsibility.
Dark days will chase you
Difficult times and challenges will relentlessly pursue you.
Dark days will chase you
Reiteration of the inevitability of challenging times.
Dark days will chase you
Emphasis on the persistence of challenging days in your life.
