Emerge
Emerge: A Journey Through Despair and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Talk to me, reveal just how it's meant to be
Talk to me, express the true nature of how things are supposed to be
Cos this is all you know
This is the only reality you are familiar with
Bruised and broken by the undertow
Harmed and damaged by the powerful current
So take a breath,
Pause and inhale
And look at what is left
Reflect on what remains around you
Around you, I never thought it would all turn to dust
I never anticipated that everything would disintegrate
Lock me up in the dark so I can sleep
Confined in darkness for tranquility during sleep
Let me dream about a place I've never been
Imagine a place never experienced before in dreams
All alone in the dark and I can't breathe
Isolated in darkness and struggling to breathe
Cos I'm building walls to climb just to believe in something more
Constructing barriers to overcome, seeking faith in something greater
I've seen it all before
Witnessed similar situations previously
I know it's breaking me and making me an
Acknowledge that it's causing internal damage and turning into a symbol of hopelessness
Idol of despair
Repeated acknowledgment of despair as an idol
To say this over again
To restate this experience
Feel as though I've seen a thousand lives
Feel as if having lived through numerous existences
But I know nothing at all,
Despite this, understanding nothing at all
It's got me paralysed
Feeling immobilized
Why does hurt to say
Questioning the pain associated with admitting there's a vast journey ahead
there's still a million miles to face
Recognizing there's a long distance to cover before seeing the light of day
Before I see the light of day upon this endless space
In a continuous space, expressing the struggle to face reality
Still lying to myself about it all the time
Continuously deceiving oneself about the situation
I never learn, I'll never make it out alive
Repeating past mistakes, foreseeing inability to survive
Lock me up in the dark so I can sleep
Again, seeking solace in darkness for sleep
Let me dream about a place I've never been
Dreaming of an unexplored place during isolation
All alone in the dark and I can't breathe
In darkness, struggling to breathe and endure
Cos I'm building walls to climb just to believe in something more
Building obstacles to overcome, driven by the desire to believe in something more meaningful
I can't stop it growing
Unable to halt the progression of challenges
I can't help it but I just feel denied
Compelled by an irresistible force, feeling deprived
It hurts to believe
Experiencing pain in accepting the truth
But this is who I am
Embracing the identity despite the pain
And I'll be damned for stopping now
Committed to persisting despite challenges
