Sharptooth - Nevertheless (She Persisted) Lyrics

Sharptooth Lyrics

"Nevertheless (She Persisted)"

I wrote my own ending:
Bled out from wounds I thought beyond mending
I reached into the void
The darkness touched me with her hands
She kissed my forehead
Whispered to me:
"Baby, it's not time to meet me yet."
Maybe that's what hurt the most
Not even the totality death could even bear to hold me close

So I let go

Tear down my walls
And watch my insides blow apart
Cause when I fall
I'm gonna give it my whole heart

My greatest asset
My biggest weakness
I'll open up
Because I chose to believe this
I made a choice to believe this

We preach compassion
But then refuse to love ourselves
Hated my darkness
Still I couldn't ask for help

Still asking questions
Waiting for you all to leave
I cannot steep in love
When I am loathing me

I reached into the void
And darkness touched me with her hands
She kissed my forehead
Whispered to me:
"Baby, it's not time to meet me yet."
And that's when everything went still
A single thought before I fell:
Compassion without compromise
Can only thrive
When I include myself

Nevertheless, I persisted
Nevertheless, I resist
Nevertheless, I persisted
Nevertheless, I exist
