"Sisyphus" lyrics

"Sisyphus"

Hand skinned raw
Feet black and blue (Black and blue)
Pushing past the fear of what I'd lose

I know this trick a little too well
Made it up to Heaven just to plunge back to Hell
Vines clinging to the bars of my cell
Made it up to Heaven just to plunge back to Hell

Rise and there will always be a fall
Parting through the world 'til you're up against a wall
Drown at sea 'til you're grasping at sand
When the stone rolls, just push it up again

And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again, oh
And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again

Seasons change, but they'll come back
As Helios sleeps, Nyx paints the sky black (Black, black, black)
When Pompeii turns meadows into ash
Flowers find a way through concrete cracks

I know this trick a little too well
Made it up to Heaven just to plunge back to Hell
Vines clinging to the bars of my cell
Made it up to Heaven just to plunge back to Hell

Rise and there will always be a fall
Parting through the world 'til you're up against a wall
Drown at sea 'til you're grasping at sand
When the stone rolls, just push it up again

And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again, oh
And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again

And you will bleed and you will break
With every step, you bare the weight
An uphill battle with no escape
It's not just you, we share this fate

Rise and there will always be a fall
Parting through the world 'til you're up against a wall
Drown at sea 'til you're grasping at sand
When the stone rolls, just push it up again

And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again, oh
And again, and again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again
