From the recording Departure Music
Lyrics
Song of Defeat
There’s a battle in my bones
One that I’m too scared to own
Every time I reach the edge
I pull back and just pretend
In the quiet of my mind
Echoes of the war
A story no one reads
Just a song of my defeat
And I break, I break inside
Running, but there’s no place to hide
Fighting battles I can’t see
Singing the song of my defeat
There’s a light I used to know
Flickering, it fades so slow
Every victory feels small
When you’re bracing for the fall
And the nights are getting cold
But the pain’s so warm, it’s old
Guess I’ve learned to wear this grief
In the song of my defeat
And I break, I break inside
Running, but there’s no place to hide
Fighting battles I can’t see
Singing the song of my defeat
Wear my scars like chains
But I still feel the weight remains
Tell me how to let it be
How to change the song of defeat
And I break, I break inside
Running, but there’s no place to hide
Fighting battles I can’t see
Singing the song of my defeat
