Art Of Defeat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It’s one thing just to hate your life
But you make every moment bitter
Why all the hate towards yourself?
In time all your scars can heal
Why live life with so much regret?
Self pity seldom ever works
You haven’t even got your pride
Defeat is all you’ll ever know
Why is it that you hate yourself?
Think no ones life is just as hard?
Time to wake up and see the world
So drag yourself from your hole
All we look forward to in life
You still find yourself alone
It takes effort just to smile
So defeat is all you’ve known
But it takes effort just to hate
By now you should have realised
It’s you that drags things down so low
Why do you choose to make your existence so…
Pathetic
So useless
You’re helpless
But you won’t rise above it
Destruction
Of self
Your ending
You’ve stopped beliving
You’re weak
A failure
To yourself
You’re just afraid
To face facts
About truth
That you are
A coward
All we look forward to in life
You still find yourself alone
It takes effort just to smile
So defeat is all you’ve known
But it takes effort just to hate
Even at your weakest time
Never stop believing
Your division of soul and mind
Can be overcome in time
Pent up aggression
It’s your spiral to self destruction
Don’t let go of your memories
If you want to climb out of your chasm
To see what comes from the start
Of our own life
Regrets make us fall apart
To see what comes from the start
Of our own life
Regrets make us fall apart
Does your chance to be heard
Make no difference?
You will wallow in defeat
That’s all
You give up on yourself
