Lyrics The Road from Recovery - Woe

The Road from Recovery

Chained to a path that leads to the end
Try to escape but it’s best to pretend
I stray from the course, stumble back at the bend
Progress always leads to regression
There are visions in sleep but reality’s worse
You struggle for peace but are locked with this curse
Start moving foward but end in reverse
Progress always leads to depression
Start from the end, if you look you will see
The regression
There are visions in sleep but reality’s worse
I struggle for peace but am locked with this curse
Strain to push past but know you’ll end in reverse
Progress always leads to depression
Face to face with what should not be
These words are all weapons aimed squarely at me
Armed to the teeth, preparing for war
Compounding with malice forevermore
There was a day we used to know
Where we’d desire and it would be so
But though we know just what we see
We cannot reach it, we are too weak
Despondent, corrosive, we circle the drain
My will falls to opposition, who’s left to blame
But the source of this compulsion?
It lies within
Simple actions and reactions halt what could have been
Still we rise in opposition, denounce our fates
Contradicted by our nature, which lies in wait
Complete corruption of all we chosse
Because this body demands it always lose
Overwhelmed by the world
Overwhelmed by the truth
Anxiety
Can you feel it crashing down?
Yes through this blood flows dedication
My serotonin turned and fled
Fate gave up god, found depression
Every fragile peace tempered by its hand
