Lyrics: Brennand

At the end of every single day
The promises I've made
Are what keep me going through this life
And all the things I've sworn to myself
Are what matter most in the end

But can I live up to these goals?
Or will my convictions fade so quickly?
Will I choose to be
A hypocrite in the end?
Setting no example and failing expectations

I will pick myself back up
I will not just lay down and die
It's time to turn the page
Stand up for your dreams
All of us together
All of us together

So many occasions in the past
I've procrastinated, telling myself that things can wait
For now but this lethargic state has gone too far
And I've got to stand up for what's left of my heart

These actions are born from honesty and these words
Are much more than empty promises
This courage that we all possess
In some it remains buried
In some it shines through till the end

Like a flame within that never burns out

In these days that try our convictions
And virtue is nowhere to be found
We will set ourselves as examples
We will take back the strength that's in our heart

All of us together

Their domination
Relies upon us being disconnected
From our hearts and bodies
Let us erode all resistance to feeling
And allow ourselves to come undone
We must regain agency
Either we are anesthetized in a life
Of unequivocal negation
Or we forge the locus
To come back to ourselves
