Nevertheless (She Persisted) - Sharptooth

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
