lyrics

Realization crashes down on you
As the curtain falls
Defeat is stuck in your throat – and you choke
The aching void in your chest
That hollow feeling in your guts
It’s not supposed to end like this
It’s not supposed to end

Forward escape into denial
Because it cannot be
What must not be
And so you threaten the sun
And you taunt the raging sea
Determined to spit your last breath

I know it’s hard to let go
Of something you hold true
And acceptance
Can cost you an effort
But then again what’s the point of holding on
If it only drags you under

You still can change the course, it’s not too late
You’ve got to stop that ship before it sinks
You’ve got to admit your defeat
You’ve got to, you’ve got to, you’ve got to
Admit it
