With or Without it - brakence

I am one

Get outside, the sun's going down

It's pointless to worry

I'll forgive myself for the mistakes I've made

And brace for the flood on the seventeenth day

Fuck if I don't step up, I'm worthy

Slept through the morning

Woke up with cold feet, the fever's still soaring

One foot out the door, but

I'm still stuck in this mortal coil

I can feel my blood boiling, but

The strings pulled me in, fight or flight

'Cause nature is cursed with a will to survive

So my fingers cut deep, as mother weeps

Should I beg for forgiveness?

Cry out on the street at this hour

Trees hit the power

Founded in fallacies, roots to be scoured

I'm dust in the wind and I'm still where I stand

I'm losing all grip on my silhouette's hand

But I'll carry on with or without it

'Cause I buried the keys and moved out

Fell to new ground

I won't reach for the poison that's keeping me safe

I've been stalling for ages, I'm done saving face, oh

And I'll carry on with or without it

Yeah, I'll carry on with or without it

And I'll carry on with or without it

Starved for embrace

We're all famished to love and, although it's too late

All my friends lend me some light in this labyrinth of mine

I was so worried I'd step out of line

'Til I tried it, sipped from the chalice

But spit it right back for no wager could weaken my palate

Hid like a coward

But is my heart in accordance with that?

Pick a fight, one by one, they get overrun

Got a wolf at the door, he'll blow down your place

Copy and paste, all my sweet talk reek of chemical waste

A world where villains always wearing the capes

Success had such an embarrassing taste

The amount of times I wanted out of the race

But fuck it, we'll let him doubt him

Always gonna let somebody down, and

I'm no better for dancing around it

Twisting every word that's in my mouth, yeah

At some point, I'm gonna be surrounded

Head pounding, heart pounding

When I panic, I'ma wear it proud, and

I come healed by the great fairy fountain

Twenty hearts, a spine, and three medallions

Ate them shrooms and took that magic powder

'Til the message started getting louder

So, before all this shit gets devoured

I might as well live in it

Yeah, I'll carry on with or without it

'Cause I buried the keys and moved out

Fell to new ground

I won't reach for the poison that's keeping me safe

I've been stalling for ages, I'm done saving face, oh

Yeah, I'll carry on with or without it

'Cause I buried the keys and moved out

Fell to new ground

I won't reach for the poison that's keeping me safe

I've been stalling for ages, I'm done saving face, oh

Yeah, I'll carry on with or without it

Yeah, I'll carry on with or without it

And I'll carry on with or without it

Starved for embrace

I should get to some loving before it's too late
