Lyrics
Cycles
Not asking for help
Going in circles
What Is this? Your life?
Damage is building
From hiding the pain
Refuse to unburden
And shoulder the weight
Despise your mind
For all its pride
We pretend
Nothing hurts til there’s no one left to
Heal this pain
We just eat our own tails
In lethal cycles
Playing the savior
But not for yourself
Give all to others
You’re kept on the shelf
Drained of your life force
To make others shine
You don’t speak a word
When your light starts to die
Despise your mind
For all its pride
We pretend
Nothing hurts til there’s no one left to
Heal this pain
We just eat our own tails
In lethal cycles
Some too proud to try
Something they may find
Numbs the pain that could divide
Them from what keeps hope alive
We pretend nothing hurts til there’s no one left
We pretend
Nothing hurts til there’s no one left to
Heal this pain
We just eat our own tails
In lethal cycles
We pretend
Nothing hurts til there’s no one left to help
Heal this pain
We just eat our own tails
In lethal cycles
About Album
To give you a little behind the song, we refer to our vocalist.
“I have a tendency to prioritize a lot before myself. Sometimes to the point of exhaustion both mentally and physically. Generally, I don’t see it as a problem, though there are times it feels all for naught. The problem come what I need help and can’t bring myself to ask for it until I am tired and drowning in it. I just act like nothing is wrong. It’s this weird combination of pride and feeling like a burden to everyone. I feel that way til it gets to the point where I become cynical, moody, and just extremely negative. I keep going in this circle. One day, I fear that this might push everyone around me away and when I’m finally ready to reach out, they might not be there to pull me up. I think this is something a lot of people face daily. When Kevin brought me the riffs for this song, it really pulled it all to the surface. Putting this stuff to music has helped me start to be more cognizant of these things. I hope this song finds those who might need that same help to recognize it and break that cycle to avoid my mistake.”
