Lyrics Perseverance - Sirena

Perseverance

Another face in the dirt
She’s just a joke to you
I hope you laugh it up
As she’s crying in her bedroom
Window blinds shut
It’s easier to cut
Get away from the world
And your passive trust
This is just a game
With friends to hide behind
But playing’s not so fun
When it results in suicide
These goddamned kids learn too late
The repercussions of their words
Lead to heartache
Keep your head up, princess
I know it’s hard to breathe
When you starve roots underneath
A cut will turn to scars in time
But you shouldn’t have to pay
For the failure’s mistakes
This will come to pass
Another chapter down
The story’s changing so fast
These shadows they will not last
These shadows they will not last
How could you look
In your daughter’s precious eyes
And promise her
Everything will be just fine
But you walked right out the door
Now she doesn’t have her father
Anymore
You were better dead
At least there’s closure
You would have gone out the hero
That you showed her
The worst mistake
Was coming back to her life
Now the hero has become the strife
Keep your head up, princess
I know it’s hard to breathe
When you starve roots underneath
A cut will turn to scars in time
But you shouldn’t have to pay
For the failure’s mistakes
This will come to pass
Another chapter down
The story’s changing so fast
These shadows they will not last
Don’t let them get
Under your skin
You’re better than them
Now go prove it
Keep your head up, princess
I know it’s hard to breathe
When you starve roots underneath
A cut will turn to scars in time
But you shouldn’t have to pay
For the failure’s mistakes
This will come to pass
Another chapter down
The story’s changing so fast
These shadows they will not last
These shadows they will not last
(These shadows they will not last)
