Lament
Embracing Vulnerability: Touché Amoré's Lament Unveiled
Lyrics
It's early so I'm feeling vulnerable
Feeling emotionally exposed or susceptible early on
So do what you will
Do as you please
For the sake of you I'm poised
Acting in a poised manner for your benefit
With what I understand is joy
Experiencing joy based on my comprehension
Shouldered cries from everywhere
Bearing the burden of tears from all directions
I expect no different
Anticipating no variance from this
You'd think by now I'd know my place
Expected to understand where I belong, yet often lose that understanding
But I lose it almost every day
Regularly losing a sense of my place
You'd think by now I'd have a grip
Expected to have control, but repeatedly failing to maintain it
But again I've let it slip
Letting go of control again after briefly grasping it
If I'm out on a limb admiring something
Admiring something while feeling vulnerable to its potential collapse
It may crack in two, I feel nothing
No emotional response despite the looming danger
Not the question preceding, or how I'm feeling
Not affected by the situation or my emotions, focused on carrying the weight of the world
But I've carried the world today
Bearing the weight of the world on my shoulders today
I have convinced myself
Self-persuasion of a certain belief
I drank from the deepest pond
Engaging deeply despite past pain
When the ocean did me wrong
Having faced adversity from a vast source and now confronting the truth I've always known
Now I'm left with what I've known all along
So I lament
Expressing sorrow or grief
Then I forget
Then forgetting momentarily
So I lament
Repeating the cycle of lamenting
'Til I reset
Until a reset occurs
You'd think by now I'd know my place
Expected to comprehend my place, yet constantly losing that understanding
But I lose it almost every day
Frequently losing my sense of belonging
You'd think by now I'd have a grip
Expected to have control, yet repeatedly failing to maintain it
But again I've let it slip
Letting go of control again after momentarily having it
So I lament
Expressing sorrow or grief
Then I forget
Then forgetting momentarily
So I lament
Repeating the cycle of lamenting
'Til I reset
Until a reset occurs
