Lyric

A fine drizzle veils the town in a hazy glow

The leaden sky pours down its endless silence

Only my wandering sighs, with nowhere left to go

Drift away into the gutters below

The anguish nesting deep within my heart

Each night makes my veins creak apart

Though knowing it was futile, I reached out my hand

Searching for a faded future I barely understand

My vision is sealed behind a pale white mist

Erasing every marker and compass that exists

Yet my heart alone refused the end

Beating as if it would never bend

The voice that whispers, “I can’t go on,”

Clashes with “I’m not finished yet” till dawn

Though my feet are trapped within the mire

I still crawl forward through the fire

Seize tomorrow with these mud-stained hands

March on through the bleakest lands

Though the drizzle steals the world’s clear lines

It cannot take the faint hope that still shines

Struggling, writhing, gathering scars along the way

Yet I will never throw my steps away

As long as this life still smolders bright

I will never surrender myself to the night

Even if I imitate another’s truth

Only hollow echoes answer in the booth

Then it’s fine to be awkward and unrefined

Carve your life at your own pace and stride

Though stones of mockery and despair may fly

Piercing me again and again as they pass by

The one who defines what defeat will be

Is not the world, but the self in me

Every drizzle fades away in time

That simple truth is etched in my mind

Even the faintest light whitening the sky

Is enough to make the darkness die

Because this body is covered in dirt and pain

It bears the proof that I fought again and again

Beyond the yesterday that nearly broke apart

I bare my fangs toward tomorrow’s dark

Tear apart the world once blurred from sight

Now cry out your own name with all your might

It doesn’t matter if your legs still shake

Not stopping is the pride you make

Step beyond the curtain of the rain

Even if loneliness follows again

Turn a thousand failures into strength anew

And I’ll keep moving toward the future in view

By the time I wipe the dirt from my cheek

A faint dawn begins to softly streak

Beyond the drifting drizzle’s veil

At last, I finally become myself
