Nova

From Obsidian2022

Written by Jonathon Deiley, Marcus Bridge, Nic Pettersen

Lyrics

Nova

[Verse 1]

I've finally opened my eyes

I think I needed the time

Needed to lose my mind

To find my way to the surface

I didn't see the signs

Thought I was doing fine

Turns out that I was blind

A lie had burrowed deep into my soul

[Chorus]

My spirit exploding

Chaos fire, infinite release

In pieces I'm falling

A life I can't repeat

My spirit exploded

And I picked up the pieces

At least what I could

I hope the glue holds like it should

But I can see the cracks

[Post-Chorus]

(My spirit exploded)

[Verse 2]

Waking up in the shadows

Thе cycle runs its course

A lesson to bе taught

But I can't lift myself off the floor

[Chorus]
