Convalesce
Embracing Imperfection: Wolves at the Gate's Convalesce Reveals the Struggle for Worth
Lyrics
I know who you are, you wanted to be perfect
I recognize your identity; you aspired to achieve perfection
In all that you were, but you bailed, you bailed
In all aspects of your being, but you abandoned, you abandoned that pursuit
I know who you are, you wanted to be worth it
I acknowledge who you are; you desired to have value or significance
In all that you were, but you failed, you failed
In all aspects of your being, but you did not succeed, you did not succeed
Kill all the lights - you fear what's inside
Turn off all sources of illumination - you are afraid of what lies within
Cover Your eyes - I'm trying to run and to hide in shadows
Close your eyes - I'm attempting to escape and conceal myself in shadows
Filling the void with just a veneer
Filling the emptiness with only a superficial appearance
Watching your steps and hoping that I don't come near - Don't follow
Monitoring your movements and hoping that I stay away - Do not pursue
I know you thought, you thought you'd never need it
I know you believed you would never require it
But you can't hide behind all your claims, your claims
But you cannot find refuge behind your assertions or justifications
Guilt is now the anchor pulling, dragging your head under
Guilt now serves as the anchor, pulling and submerging your mind
Drowning deeper down below
Sinking deeper below the surface
Fear is just a false claim, vanity has locked the irons
Fear is an unfounded assertion; arrogance has imprisoned you
Sinking faster, heart is hollow
Sinking rapidly, the heart is empty
Show me your sorrow my love
Show me your grief, my love
This burden is the milestone 'round your neck
This burden is the significant obstacle around your neck
Convalesce and I will bear, bear your shame
Recover and heal, and I will endure, endure your shame
The voice of hell screams and roars
The voice of hell loudly expresses the pain and suffering
Of what has been done
About what has occurred
Tens of thousands and countless more
Thousands upon thousands and countless more
Yet I'll remember not one
Yet I will not remember any
You know who I am, I wanted to be perfect
You are aware of who I am; I aspired to be flawless
In all that I am, but I failed, I failed
In all that I am, but I did not succeed, I did not succeed
Would you walk in darkness just to find a broken rebel?
Would you traverse through obscurity just to discover a fractured rebel?
Crippled legs won't find their way
Impaired legs won't find their path
Could you look upon my blackened soul
Could you gaze upon my corrupted soul?
I've werecked and ruined
I am damaged and destroyed
How could see me without clean hands or a pure heart?
How can you perceive me without uncontaminated hands or a sincere heart?
Show me your sorrow my love
Show me your grief, my love
This burden is the milestone 'round your neck
This burden is the significant obstacle around your neck
Convalesce and I will bear, bear your shame, every stain
Recover, and I will endure, endure your shame, every blemish
Bear your shame, every stain
Endure your shame, every blemish
