The Sun, the Moon, the Truth: "Penance of Self"

[Verse 1]

You’ve heard it all before

“This time won’t be the same, you can trust me”

But you know my fucking game

Say what I have to, to get what I need

Now the evil delivered swings back at me

Weak attempts at change

Carry me backward

Too little, too late

Now live with the hurt

For everything I have an excuse

But some things are not long hidden:

The sun, the moon, the truth

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I live with the hurt

Live with the hurt

This is what I deserve

[Chorus]

Break me down

The only way I’ll learn

The guilt is overwhelming

Take me out, the pain of me returns

My sins fucking destroy me

[Verse 2]

I am forced to face the fire I create

And watch as it annihilates everything

Hold me back while I watch it burn

The price I pay, the suffering returns

Now the hands of fate are here to collect

Nothing here is safe until I reflect

I run from myself, no end in sight

Numb on the inside from living a lie

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I watch as it burns

Watch as it burns

This is what I deserve

[Chorus]

Break me down

The only way I’ll learn

The guilt is overwhelming

Take me out, the pain of me returns

My sins fucking destroy me

[Bridge]

You can shelter yourself from the sun

And you can hide from the moon

But there is nothing you can do

When the truth strikes its light on you

[Breakdown]

Now I must live with the hurt

Now I must live with the hurt

[Outro]

The pain of me returns

The pain of me returns

The pain of me returns

Now I must live with the hurt
