Lyrics Valhalla - ERRA

Valhalla

Shed your skin, days on years, punished by pressured time
When underneath, you’re balancing all this hate and selfless misconception
What once was full is just the husk of a deceived creature of habits
Black ink can’t pierce this deep
By your side, I watched the birds of prey bind the skies and hold in wait
We cannot mend what is sealed by fate
No future, contentment with complacency, absorbing disappointment,
bite the hand that feeds
I gave up everything to make you feel complete
Drenched in cold sweat from lost comfort of safety, you
Resonate with hatred
My pulse is racing in my chest
I lie awake to imagine pathways of escape as they disappear
All these words mean nothing if we fall face first (if we fall face first) from
running away from something that we saw coming
Embrace this sunset as cloak and dagger for you to cower
Hidden by shadow, with filthy nails of gripping cowards
Shed your skin
Refuse to be loved by yourself to grow free from villainous vines
Refuse love from anyone else to sever ties that have grown intertwined
My failing mind has been oppressed, and I lie awake to embrace a
Pathway of escape
Disappear without a trace
All these words mean nothing if we fall face first (if we fall face first) from
running away from something that we saw coming
Rise through the wake, sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
Rise through the wake, sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
Shed your skin!
Shed your skin, I’ve always known what’s underneath
Rise through the wake, or be the crashing waves
Rise through the wake, sliding through the pulse
Of the ocean tide
Rise through the wake, slide
Refuse to be loved by yourself to grow free from villainous vines
Refuse love from anyone else to sever ties that have grown intertwined
