Purgatory, between a rock and a hard place
Purgatory, set me free
Entre le bien et le mal
At war with myself
Exhausted, in the middle of an existential crisis
No way out; claustrophobic
I am at war with myself
My head’s up in a smoke cloud
Isolated, feeling jaded
Nothing to say in my defence
I am at war with myself
Purgatory, set me free
Between good and evil
Purgatory, between a rock and a hard place
Purgatory, set me free
Entre le bien et le mal
I’ve escaped the sunken place
The fire burns beneath my feet
I’m reaching up, need a saving grace
Caught between good and evil
Losing my soul
One step forward and two steps back
The fire burns beneath my feet
No looking down or I’ll fade to black
Caught between good and evil
Losing my soul
What doesn’t kill you
What doesn’t kill you
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger
Navigating through the ups & downs
I curse the sky above
Ignore the God below
Look for answers in the shadow
Still searching for a higher purpose (feeling hopeless)
They say the path to paradise begins in hell (begins in hell)
Purgatory
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger
What doesn’t kill you
What doesn’t kill you
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger
