For This Once

For this once

Will be showed

No welcome thoughts

Of failing these miseries

For your lack of answers

This just can't be your answer

Pretense, this path is called

Thence, I have often come

Rationalized, at least one should have

Evidence, just for this once

For this once

Understanding

For this once

Comprehension

Then fall beneath silence

That brings comfort

Spare me solace

For this once

Every time I take a look at the fractured remains

Ever left behind on this way

Mostly untouched, mostly self-imposed

Another proud state of mind

Dies with unknown consequences

It's the apparent inconsistency

Of regret and improvement

Too busy with denied self-pity

Too numb to step up just for this fucking once

Too weak for a change

Pretense, this path is called

Thence, I have often come

Rationalized, at least one should have

Evidence, just for this once

Bold, this pattern is

But faint, my will seems

And failure, I always see

So cold, I've come to be so

Sing repentance

Sing repentance

Sing repentance

Sing for suffering

For this once

Understanding

For this once

Comprehension

Then fall beneath silence

That brings comfort

Spare me solace

For this once
