In "Stay" by Breakdown of Sanity, the weight of accumulated years blurs warmth and cold into a dull numbness, leaving only the question of whether anything real remains. The plea to stay becomes a desperate reach against apathy, as past wounds refuse to release their grip and the future dissolves into a still blur. Echoes of unheard cries and hollow evidence mark the struggle to keep walking, yet the final turn is a shared vow: follow, fight, cry, and face the unknown together rather than fade into nothing.
Stay Lyrics by Breakdown of Sanity
I convince myself the time and wounds define us
In the waging wake of time it’s left its toll on us and now it won’t let us break free
The warmth and cold is blurring into something dull
In disguise, taken with us on our path
(Is this all that’s left?)
Is this all that remains?
Is this all I feel?
The years, they are still catching up on me
Are still catching up on me
(Stay with me)
How is the past still present in my future
It’s all comes down to a still blur
With all that said I rinse and stir
For all it’s fucking worth
For all it’s worth
Stay with me
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Is this all that’s left of me, is this why I have fought to survive
Is this why I feel lost in the world, lost in myself
This time I’ve hoped to see not a fantasy fade to nothing
Hollow evidence
(Stay with me)
(Here we are)
Inside and out we keep walking
(Looking back)
Don’t know if I’ll feel the same
(Where will we)
Take our heavy footfalls
Stay with me
I convince myself the time and wounds define us
In the waging wake of time it’s left its toll on us and now it won’t let us break free
The warmth and cold is blurring into something dull
In disguise, taken with us on our fucking path
We’ve spent our time, listening to the echoes
Deaf ears ignored all of our desperate attempts of reaching out to their hearts
Why won’t you stay with me
(Why won’t you stay with me)
I stare in the face of apathy from the ashes
With no going back, the curtains fall
Blegh!
No going back
Is this all that’s left of me, is this why I have fought to survive
Is this why I feel lost in the world, lost in myself
This time I’ve hoped to see not a fantasy fade to nothing
Why won’t you
Why won’t you stay with me?
Will you stay with me
My part of me that never died
Will you follow me
Into the unknown
Stay with me
We’ll face the world
(Follow me)
(Fight with me)
(Cry with me)
(Stay with me)
(Follow me)
(Fight with me)
(Stay with me)
We’ll face the world
