Death Lyrics by Arcus
Have you ever felt like you’re flying?
Everything is going right, except it’s not – but you don’t even know it
(To give and not take, to stay and not break, but somehow you’re in the way)
You barely notice
You and your purpose
And you sweat and sweat and sweat
(To give and not take, to stay and not break, but somehow you’re in the way)
And you run down a path
Surrounded by legions
And you know them, they’re ravenous
But you tell yourself
It’s OK, everything is fine
But I hate that sound
And I’m waiting for the water
To rush in and drown me out
But it never comes…
Whether you really wanna go, wanna stay,
It’s alright, it’s ok,
Take a look, it’s already here… it’s already here
Illusions dressed around your delusions
It’s already here
And you break, so inviting in familiar ways
(It’s OK, everything is fine, but I hate that sound and I’m waiting for the water)
Time moves so slowly in this shape
(It’s OK, everything is fine, but you know you’re never gonna get out alive)
An ancient map formed by the cracks of my skin
You know where to press, leading to the secrets I hold, teasing scars of old
Your thorns splitting me open, devastating me still
Fight back the tears
And wait for the ending
Everyone breaks after a while
(It’s OK, everything is fine
But I hate that sound
And I’m waiting for the water)
Wait for the water to pour
And give you more relief as you fall
(It’s OK, everything is fine
But I hate that sound)
But you’ve already drowned
On your knees, let’s talk about what you want to be
Cast aside like waste?
Left behind and vacant?
Oh, you can be anything you want
Bound up, left for dead in the middle of a gaze
From the devil that you knew back from all the better days
Should you have done better?
Oh – you could have done better
I would have changed if I’d known
I should have known
I should have done better
I failed, I’m worthless, I know
Leave my body to bloat
Let me rot with sorrow
I’m a self-fulfilling prophecy (prophecy)
A dying star in a pantheon (pantheon)
Of false gods, just a hanger-on (hanger-on)
Self-destructing destiny (destiny)
You were supposed to care like I cared
Like I cared, like I cared
Stolen autonomy
You took everything from, everything from me
Fight back the tears
And wait for the ending
Everyone breaks after a while
(It’s OK, everything is fine
But I hate that sound
And I’m waiting for the water)
Wait for the water to pour
And give you more relief as you fall
(It’s OK, everything is fine
But I hate that sound
And I’m waiting for the water)
But you’ve already drowned
I know they’re watching
And I know it’s self-fulfilling
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Self-fulfilling…
