lyrics

Paralyzed, indisposed
At the gates facing the unknown
Choice at hand
Halted by the shield and pike
Of a stone faced blight

Enter the crippling doubt
The stale and slow death
The critic inside
Whispering from the depths
“You will fail”
“They won’t understand”
“Why even try?”
“Stay and rot with me, stay here and die!"

I'm tired of this enforced stagnation
it's time to take action
Necrotic figment of isolation
I’m casting you out

You are an impasse
An obstacle bested
I've wasted so much time
Fighting a fictional ramshackle sentry

Under your watch
I was convinced to believe that I was unworthy
An imposter to all, a waste of their time

I am more than just the sum
Of my scars and shadows
Get out of my way you lying cretin
Today you’re defeated

I'm tired of this enforced stagnation
it's time to take action
Necrotic figment of isolation
I’m casting you out
