Staggering Forward Songtext
von Soulmirror

I try and I try
My sins keep weighing me down
I′m not a bad man
Straight to the point and profound
I'm far from perfect
I′m apart of the filth
If life was worth it
Then why does the rose wilt
Push your head under water
Breathe just a bit longer

What is,
A man who doesn't suffer?
It's essential,
But how much longer?
Mindless, nothing′s ever changed
Days are mundane, progress stays the same
Why do I play when I lose this game?


If I was happy,
Would I′ve gotten more done
This heartless world has shaped me into
What I have become
I'm far from perfect
I′m apart of this filth
If life was worth it
Then why does the rose wilt

The future holds its promise for no one
Death is lurking
Before the end has begun
Don't be a bitch
In a dog eat dog world
No pain, without purpose
Don′t be so blind to the sky
It's not worth it
No death, without rebirth
Just give into yourself
You will hold the earth

The filth is slowly peaking
At night I hear it shrieking
And when I die, this is how you′ll remember
He's like the rest of us
Broken down
And fucked up
And when he dies
This is how you'll remember


There′s that feeling once again
Your stomach turns and your heart grows weak
Flinching at the judgement
There is no way from this place of pain and hate

I′ve lost myself in a bad dream
Down to the darkest depths
I am reaching
I'm staggering forward
Staggering forward
The filth
Calls out to me
Til fire sets me free
I′m staggering forward
Staggering forward
Face adversity
Take back everything
Now that I'm listening
I must pick myself up
Just to fall back in

The filth is slowly peaking
At night I hear it shrieking
And when I die, this is how you′ll remember
He's like the rest of us
Broken down
And fucked up
And when he dies
This is how you′ll remember

Awaken child
This is no place to hide
Remove the veil that has blinded your eyes
Death approaches and his demons are screaming
Staggering forward, my hand is reaching

I try and I try,
My sins are weighing me down
I'm not a bad man
Straight to the point and profound
I'm far from perfect,
I′m apart of the filth
If life was worth it,
Then why does the rose wilt

Push your head under water
Breathe just a bit longer
Push your head under water
Breathe just a bit longer
