Valhalla

Shed your skin, days on years
 Punished by pressured time
 When underneath, you're balancing
 All this hate and selfless misconception
 What once was full is just the husk
 Of a deceived creature of habits
 Black ink can't pierce this deep
 By your side, I watched the birds of prey
 Bind the skies and hold in wait
 We cannot mend what is sealed by fate
 No future, contentment with complacency
 Absorbing disappointment, bite the hand that feeds
 I gave up everything to make you feel complete
 Drenched in cold sweat from lost comfort of safety
 You resonate with hatred
 My pulse is racing in my chest
 I lie awake to imagine pathways of escape as they disappear
 All these words mean nothing if we fall face first
 From running away from something that we saw coming
 Embrace this sunset as cloak and dagger for you to cower
 Hidden by shadows with filthy nails of gripping cowards
 Shed your skin
 Refuse to be loved by yourself to grow free from villainous vines
 Refuse love from anyone else to sever ties that have grown intertwined
 My failing mind has been oppressed
 And I lie awake to embrace a pathway of escape
 Disappear without a trace

 Rise through the wake
 Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
 Rise through the wake
 Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
 Shed your skin, shed your skin
 I've always known what's underneath

 Rise through the wake or be the crashing waves

 Rise through the wake
 Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
 Rise through the wake
