"Swallowed By Eternity" lyrics

"Swallowed By Eternity"

Sang my soul, sold my soul
Was there a point to it?
Can I get back all I've lost?
Can I inspire anyone?
Can I inspire anyone anymore?

When my favorite outlet becomes a burden
Don't know for certain how long it'll last for
Poetic outlet becomes a serpent
When it converges with all that I deplore

It's a miracle that I got this far
It's a miracle that I got this far
It's a goddamn miracle that I got this far
It's a goddamn miracle that I got this far

Two threes flattened and the horns are warped to tusks
Clothed in static, void is laughing at what you think you've done

If only I knew there'd be no chance of pearly gates
If only I knew, oh
If only I knew all of my sweat would go to waste
If only I knew, oh

You'll regret it
The ones that you let in
The things that you said
But you couldn't obey
Time was shredded
A pathetic investment
The ones we protected were the ones to betray
To lay their pain into me

No one's left to save you
Gluttony will betray you
The reckoning is overdue
You know you deserve what's coming
Can't live off of your defiance
Can't depend on fickle talents
Servant to your habits
You know you deserve what's coming

Crystal fragments stuck in bladders
No one thinks a baby's tough
What I wrote, that shit don't matter
How bad can we fuck this up?
Babbling in limbo
Drag these metal arms to rust
Double scythe akimbo
Got your baggage in me
Brittle is our crutch

If only I knew there'd be no chance of pearly gates
If only I knew, oh
If only I knew all of my sweat would go to waste
If only I knew, oh

You'll regret it
The ones that you let in
The things that you said
But you couldn't obey
Time was shredded
A pathetic investment
The ones we protected were the ones to betray
To lay their pain into me

If I build it up, who will burn it down?
Do I believe in a god who can save me?
Can I be enough when I'm feeding my doubts?
Should I give it up? Do I stick around?
Is everyone always trying to break me?
Well, I don't give a fuck, you can't stop me now

If I build it up, who will burn it down?
Do I believe in a god who can save me?
Can I be enough when I'm feeding my doubts?
Should I give it up? Do I stick around?
Is everyone always trying to break me?
Well, I don't give a fuck, you can't stop me now
