Lyrics
Buried in the roots of tragedy I have lost my way
Buried in the roots of tragedy, the speaker expresses feeling lost.
These roads, a delusion, never reach their supposed apogee
The roads are deceptive, failing to reach their supposed peak.
Pursuit of an incessant timeline

Curiosity unfolds the lies wrapped around the unknown mind

The unknown mind
Reiteration of the mysterious nature of the mind.
Brought back to life by the madness I could see
The speaker is revived by madness, revealing internal struggles.
The horrors inside of me scratching at their seams
Inner horrors are depicted, seeking release.
What seems to be the end of me

Oh god if you're listening
A plea to a higher power for intervention.
Stop me from sinking

I can't hold on much longer

Stop me from sinking

Aberration of my mentality

Look what you've done to me

Look what you've done, impurity
The impact of impurity on the speaker is evident.
I am losing grasp on reality
The speaker feels a loss of grip on reality.
Nothing but an unbound silent storm
A silent storm is metaphorically described, signifying turmoil.
Corroded emotions are nothing short
Corroded emotions are mentioned, emphasizing distress.
Of distress concealed from reflection
The true emotions are hidden from self-reflection.
But the cloth they bare withers the mind
The external appearance contradicts the deteriorating mind.
Thoughts plead with innocence as the guilt rewinds over and over again
Thoughts wrestle with innocence amid recurring guilt.
Exiled from the place I once called home
Exile from a once-called home is conveyed.
Oh wont your words pierce through my bones
Desire for impactful words to penetrate the speaker's being.
Command me
A command, possibly seeking guidance or control.
I can't keep living this life of fear
A plea to end a life dominated by fear.
Your grace awakening, the spirits I once knew so dear
Recognition of a lost connection with once-dear spirits.
What must I do to start again
A question on what actions are needed for a fresh start.
Purify the blood beneath my skin
A call to purify the essence within.
What must I do to start again
Reiteration of the desire to start anew.
Reconcile everything I've bargained with
The need to reconcile previous actions is expressed.
Look what you've done to me
Reflection on the impact of external actions on the speaker.
Look what you've done impurity
The continuing influence of impurity is lamented.
I am losing grasp on reality
The speaker's struggle with reality is emphasized again.
Look what you've done to me
The lasting effect of external actions on the speaker.
Look what you've done polluting my sanity
The pollution of sanity is acknowledged with a sense of victimhood.
I never asked to be this way
Denial of the speaker's chosen state, expressing helplessness.
Falling further from my escape
A descent further away from a potential escape is noted.
This anxiety floods my mind
Anxiety overwhelms the speaker's thoughts.
I've felt these horrors a thousand times
The speaker has experienced these horrors repeatedly.
Rid the devil behind these eyes
A plea to rid the internal devil and find salvation.
I'm lost, please find me
An admission of being lost and a request for assistance.
I'm begging for your guidance
Begging for guidance, seeking external help.
Don't leave me imprisoned inside myself
A plea to avoid being trapped within oneself.
