The Ones Who Walk Away
Escaping the Weight of Unseen Torment
Lyrics
The things you’ve done
The actions or deeds you have performed
You’ve ripped the bliss for all from one
You have taken away happiness from everyone for the sake of one person
One soul
A singular individual
One lonely human
A solitary human being
Exposed to pain like no one has ever known
This individual has experienced pain unparalleled by others
And every night we can hear
Every night, we can perceive
We hear it’s screams echo through our minds
We hear the screams of this person reverberating in our minds
Yet we can’t see what it’s like to carry this heavy burden
Yet, we are unable to comprehend the weight of their suffering
We’re bound
We are constrained or tied to this situation
We wonder what truths lie beyond these high walls
We contemplate the truths that exist beyond the confines of these walls
Beyond our own halls
Outside our own dwellings
We’ll never find out if we stay
We will never discover if we choose to remain
We can’t stay
We cannot linger or endure in this place
For us to stay means to find peace in the torment of one life
Staying implies finding solace in the suffering of one life, specifically our own lives
Our lives
Our own existences
No, we won’t be
We will not continue to be
No longer be part of this secret
No longer will we be involved in this concealed or hidden situation
We’ll leave this behind
We choose to leave this situation behind
This place is lost
This place is beyond recovery or redemption
This soul has suffered now for so long
This soul has endured suffering for an extended period
It has endured what we never could
It has withstood trials that we, the observers, could never endure
It’s time to move on, time to cleanse our own souls
Now is the time for us to progress, to purify our own souls
