Heirloom
Legacy Unveiled: The Burning Tale of Heirloom
Lyrics
I belong blinded in a mask that will shut me up
I feel confined and silenced, wearing a mask that suppresses my voice.
But don’t refute my generous self order to gag
Do not deny my willingness to restrain myself, allowing me to speak freely.
As my personal struggle belongs with my intent to speak on my behalf with a bladed tongue cutting you in half
My personal struggles are intertwined with my desire to express myself forcefully, metaphorically cutting others apart.
I saved you
I protected you.
I spared you
I showed mercy to you.
I maimed you
I inflicted harm upon you.
I changed you
I transformed you.
There’s an heirloom hanging around
There's a lasting legacy or tradition present.
Like an old soul that’s watching me
An ancient essence is observing me.
I knew you weren’t going nowhere fast
I knew you wouldn't progress quickly.
You’re too different they said in fact, heirloom
People considered you too unconventional, indeed, a lasting tradition.
You will forget more than I will ever know
You will forget more than I will ever learn.
Breathe
A call to take a breath.
Life has always challenged me
Life has always presented challenges to me.
Breathe
A repetition of the call to breathe.
Like a precious artifact
Comparing life to a precious artifact.
Breathe
Reiteration of life's challenges.
Life has always challenged me
Encouragement to breathe again.
Breathe
Repeating the call to breathe.
Like a precious artifact hanging from a burning tree
Life is compared to a precious artifact hanging from a burning tree.
Here I stand as an heirloom
I exist as a lasting tradition or legacy.
From a burning tree I hang
Metaphorically hanging from a burning tree.
Battered, beloved, burning heirloom
Being damaged, cherished, and connected to the burning tree.
Watch me age, engage, consume
Observing my own aging, involvement, and consumption.
They stole you
Someone took you away from me.
They overtook you
They surpassed you.
They killed you
They caused your death.
They remade you
They recreated you.
Now looking back
Reflecting on the past.
There was writing on the wall
Foreseeing events, acknowledging signs.
Our lives mimicked tower falls
Our lives mirrored the collapse of towers.
Burning bastards falling faster
Rapid descent of corrupted individuals.
Save what you can that will make your grave a happy home
Preserve what you can to ensure a content afterlife.
Save what you can that will make your piece of mind live on, end on, and gone
Save what guarantees peace of mind even after death.
They’ve caught us now
We are captured now.
Our time has come to be the one that stalls
Our time has come to be the one that delays or obstructs.
Just breathe alone
Just breathe in solitude.
I’m hanging
I am hanging.
I’m burning
I am burning.
I’m falling much faster
I am descending rapidly.
Just breathe
A final instruction to just breathe.
