Schopenhauer

from Aegis by The Altruist

lyrics

Oh I can never win this game
There’s a darkness at the end
Should I even try to stand
Oh I feel the waves crashing again
It’s a never ending circle
From passion to pain and from pain to void

Want the crown but we don’t want to reign
We want all the best by doing all the worst
Making the wrong moves but wishing for the best
Every day we tie this nose a little more around our necks
But it takes more to fight and it takes less to run
We keep on wishing for a better day to come

So many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep
Not realizing how great my life really is
I came to forget (how could I forget)
How humbled I should feel

Look at yourself
Is your life such a nightmare
Is the air in your lungs not enough to remind you
What a blessing you received
Look all around
There’s a world outside your pain
The sky always look dark
If you look at it eyes closed

It’s hell all round ‘cause
I’ve waited so long to change
It feels like my fall was always part of my selfish plan

So many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep
Not realizing how great my life really is
I came to forget (how could I forget)
How humbled I should feel

Look at yourself
Is your life such a nightmare
Is the air in your lungs not enough to remind you
What a blessing you received

It’s a blessing you received

Oh I can never win this game
There’s a darkness at the end
Should I even try to stand
Oh I feel the waves crashing again
It’s a never ending circle
From passion to pain and from pain to void

It’s a never ending circle
From passion to pain

Oh
I am the one that you’ve never been proud of
Fuck your distrustful vision of my future
I’m proud of myself
I am the one that you’ve never been proud of
(All I’ve become is no thanks to you)
(I’m proud of myself)
Fuck your distrustful vision of my future
I own my mistakes I own my achievements
