Perennial Philosophy

[Verse 1]

I spent my whole life searching for substance

Just to find an empty room

In the void of endless meaning

Where no faith can be assumed

I spent my whole death waiting for answers

Just to see the spaces filled

In the sea of all my karma

Where all my blood was spilled

[Chorus]

I know I'm gonna let you down

Every single time I try to hide in my own lies

If you can forgive me now

You'll be in every breath I take if you believe that I can change

[Verse 2]

I spent my rebirth chasing the devil

Just to watch my cancer grow

Try to snuff him out with a silence

But he speaks to me so low

I'll spend my last chance being the martyr

Of all my wasted breath

If I could wake you from this coma

I'd give all I have left, give all I have left

[Chorus]

I know I'm gonna let you down

Every single time I try to hide in my own lies

If you can forgive me now

You'll be in every breath I take if you believe that I can change

[Bridge]

I'm a fire inside abandoned walls

Tearaway, unafraid to risk it all

I'll give you every reason to believe

I am ready for so much more

I'm not holding on

[Chorus]

I know I'm gonna let you down

Every single time I try to hide in my own lies

If you can forgive me now

You'll be in every breath I take if you believe that I can change
