Catharsis lyrics

[Intro]
It’s summer, so they say
I sit and watch the sunlight turn from red to grey

[Verse 1]
One look backward, the image is fractured
I never thought I’d get this far when every step treads in the shards
A journey incomplete, I pull the glass out of my feet
And put back the pieces like broken bones healing

[Pre-Chorus]
So what does it matter
So what does it matter when pieces I gather
Are torn up and scattered
I crack, snap, and shatter my bones
Feel my skin turn to stone again

[Chorus]
Affliction’s left its mark on me
My temper vapid and heartless
Submission force feeds my apathy
But every breath is catharsis

[Verse 2]
Cautious & optimistic
Life f*cks me up sometimes but I don’t want to miss it
I’m still wading through this bull sh*t
And I meant it when I said it
Life will eat you if you let it
[Pre-Chorus]
So what does it matter
So what does it matter when pieces I gather
Are torn up and scattered
I crack, snap, and shatter my bones
Feel my skin turn to stone again

[Chorus]
Affliction’s left its mark on me
My temper vapid and heartless
Submission force feeds my apathy
But every breath is catharsis

[Bridge]
All cut and sewn, so overgrown
I am the rocks on the shore
Your waves always break over me
Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core
I gave up trying to run away
It’s with me every step I take
Rise to my feet
This earth will never know my knees

[Outro]
(All cut and sewn)
My temper vapid and heartless
(So overgrown)
But every breath is catharsis
I am the rocks on the shore, (All cut and sewn)
Your waves always break over me
Unmoved by heartache and stone to the core
I gave up trying to run away (So overgrown)
It’s with me every step I take
Rise to my feet (But every step is catharsis)
This earth will never know my knees
