Recovery?
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trapped in this world, devoid of action
Condemned as a ghost
Your words are seen through
You see their faces and they really don′t know
Hiding those feelings that should have been on show
Your skin's on fire, I feel it, it′s hot to the touch
You don't have to be alone in your hell
The others you long to be have fallen as well
A line is drawn, and now you know yourself
The scars that you wear, they're a sign of your strength
Faded out before
Trapped in this world, devoid of action
Condemned as a ghost
Your words are seen through
Down, descend alone
Found the next unknown
Just one more step, I don′t recover
We set a fire when we chose to walk away
We let our souls run alone, finding faith in misery
So sick of feeling invisible in a world demanding proof
They say that knowledge is power, but they′re not ready for truth
This is the part that you gonna have to deal with for the rest of your life
And it kinda called into questioning
Is there's such thing as recovery?
Faded out before
Trapped in this world, devoid of action
Condemned as a ghost
Your words are seen through
Down, descend alone
Found the next unknown
Just one more step, I don′t recover
What do they expect from you?
Reflecting dishonesty
Shrouded to hide your shame
Trapped, you are never free
What do they expect from you?
Reflecting dishonesty
Silence has seen you through
What is recovery?
I don't recover
What is recovery?
What do they expect from you?
Reflecting dishonesty
Silence has seen you through
What is recovery?
Faded out before
Trapped in this world, devoid of action
Condemned as a ghost
Your words are seen through
Down, descend alone
Found, the next unknown
Just one more step, I don′t recover
I don't recover (I don′t recover)
I don't recover (I don't recover)
Faded out before
Lost and forgotten in the past
Trapped in this world, devoid of action
Feeling stuck and inactive in a life that lacks purpose
Condemned as a ghost
Rejected and ignored, as if invisible
Your words are seen through
Others can see the insincerity in your words
You see their faces and they really don't know
Although you interact with others, they don't truly understand you
Hiding those feelings that should have been on show
Suppressing emotions that should have been expressed openly
Your skin's on fire, I feel it, it's hot to the touch
Feeling intense heat and pain within, visible to others
A mind like a knife, the thoughts are the cuts
Having a sharp and destructive mind, where thoughts cause harm
You don't have to be alone in your hell
You don't have to face your personal struggles alone
The others you long to be have fallen as well
The people you admire or aspire to be like have also faced hardships
A line is drawn, and now you know yourself
A defining moment has occurred, leading to self-discovery
The scars that you wear, they're a sign of your strength
The scars you bear are a testament to your resilience
Down, descend alone
Going deeper into darkness and isolation, separated from others
Found the next unknown
Discovering a new challenge or struggle
Just one more step, I don't recover
Taking one more step forward, but unable to fully heal or move on
We set a fire when we chose to walk away
By leaving, we ignited a destructive force or conflict
We let our souls run alone, finding faith in misery
Allowing our inner selves to wander aimlessly, seeking solace in pain
So sick of feeling invisible in a world demanding proof
Tired of being overlooked and unacknowledged in a world that requires evidence
They say that knowledge is power, but they're not ready for truth
Although knowledge is said to be empowering, people are not prepared for harsh realities
What do they expect from you?
What are the expectations placed upon you?
Reflecting dishonesty
Mirroring deceit or falsehood
Shrouded to hide your shame
Covering up feelings of guilt or embarrassment
Trapped, you are never free
Feeling confined and unable to escape
Silence has seen you through
Keeping quiet has helped you endure
What is recovery?
What does it truly mean to heal and overcome?
I don't recover
I am unable to fully recover

Funny those lyrics, among many others, being sung by a gullible SJW

Especially if you're an addict. In recovery or not this hits a little hard.
