One Last Promise
Breaking Promises: Saint Sleep's Emotional Echo Chamber
Lyrics
Promise this the last time
Committing to making this the final instance
Promise there's no next time
Affirming there won't be another opportunity
Promise that I'll break the promise two more times again
Pledging to break the commitment twice more
Promise me you'll never give me one more chance
Requesting not to be given another chance
Promise this the last time
Reiterating that this is the ultimate occasion
Promise there's no next time
Asserting there won't be a subsequent occasion
Promise that I'll break the promise two more times again
Committing again to breaking the promise two more times
Promise me you'll never give me one more chance
Asking not to receive another opportunity
Promise that I'll never change
Vowing not to alter or transform
Sitting in this echo chamber of regret I don't know where I am
Feeling lost and unsure of one's current state
Dangerous thoughts consumed by eyes that just refuse to hide behind their lids
Having troubling thoughts that are hard to conceal
I toss and turn but don't know what I miss
Experiencing restlessness without understanding the cause
I feel around the darkness and discover nothing there
Searching in darkness and finding nothing
The emptiness of what is left between us hard to bear
Struggling with the emptiness between the speaker and another person
I wanna cut you off and say there's nothing here
Wanting to sever ties and deny any connection
But I find it hard to pretend like I don't care
Difficulty pretending not to care
Promise this the last time
Repeating the commitment to this being the final occasion
Promise there's no next time
Asserting there won't be another opportunity after this
Promise that I'll break the promise two more times again
Promising again to break the commitment multiple times
Promise me you'll never give me one more chance
Requesting not to be granted another chance
Promise this the last time
Reiterating that this is the last time
Promise there's no next time
Emphasizing there won't be a subsequent occasion
Promise that I'll break the promise two more times again
Committing again to breaking the promise multiple times
Promise me you'll never give me one more chance
Requesting not to receive another chance
Remember when I stared at you with eyes of pressure
Recollection of a moment where intense pressure was felt
Problems indescribable and isometric
Describing overwhelming and difficult-to-explain issues
I don't listen you don't speak
Communication breakdown, lack of dialogue
I think too much before I start to go to sleep
Overthinking before trying to sleep
About how I had you in my arms and finally felt like I was safe and nothing else could come between us
Remembering a time of feeling secure and united
Two year waitlist in the making and it's ruined in a few seconds
Reference to a relationship ending abruptly after a long wait
When I separated who you thought I was from who I really am
Reflecting on the discrepancy between perceived and actual identity
Promise this the last time
Committing to this being the final instance once more
Promise there's no next time
Affirming there won't be another opportunity after this
Promise that I'll break the promise two more times again
Promising again to break the commitment multiple times
Promise me you'll never give me one more chance
Requesting not to be given another chance
Promise this the last time
Reiterating that this is the last time
Promise there's no next time
Asserting there won't be a subsequent occasion
Promise that I'll break the promise two more times again
Committing again to breaking the promise multiple times
Promise me you'll never give me one more chance
Asking not to be granted another chance
