Arise
Design the Void Lyrics

I've seen this face before
I recognize this feeling, I've been here before

Haunted by thoughts that plague the mind
My mind is tormented by negative thoughts

Chasing aspirations with failing hearts, yeah
I'm struggling to pursue my goals with a discouraged heart

I've lost the fight within me
I feel defeated and powerless

Collectives snuffed desire
The opinions of others have killed my passion

But through these walls it's found me
Despite my isolation, inspiration has reached me

And taken hold of my vice
It has consumed me and become my obsession

Think again you're only bewildered
You're confused and unsure of what to do next

You will never find the strength to face this
You feel too weak to overcome this situation

I hear your voice again, it's not yet over
You remind yourself that it's not too late to keep going

I look inside and find that light burning through the ebon soul
Despite the darkness within me, I see a glimmer of hope

Arise
It's time to rise up and face the challenge

These walls that I have built up
I've isolated myself and built walls to protect myself

Have been drowning me out
They've been overwhelming and suffocating me

Take one last reflection
Take a moment to reflect on yourself and your situation

It's time now
The moment has come to take action

To fight this numbness that has become our livelihood
To overcome the apathy that has taken over our lives

Fake as the martyr
Don't pretend to be something you're not

I renounce you from me
I reject the false persona I've been living

This time I'll break you down
I will break down the walls and barriers that are holding me back

To build you up
In order to rebuild myself stronger and better

I did my best to serve this but
I have put forth effort into this situation

Something's off (Something's off)
Something doesn't feel right

Been living in an ebon soul
I've been living in a dark and gloomy state of mind

Without a complete self
I don't feel like a whole and complete person

Without a way
I don't see a clear way forward

My body sings at the glimpse of these streams
I feel alive and inspired by the sight of these natural wonders

It's rays are like golden fleece
Their light is radiant and captivating

They have nothing to give but hope
These streams offer no tangible rewards, but they inspire hope and renewal

I've seen this light before
I've experienced this sense of hope and renewal in the past

It's been there waiting for my reckoning
It's always been there, waiting for me to recognize its presence

Is it here to stay?
I wonder if this hope will remain with me permanently

Can I make a brand new start?
Can I start over and build a new life for myself?

I've drug my feet for too long and fallen into cycles
I've been stuck in a rut for too long and need to break free

I feel their call surround me
I feel the pull of the negative forces around me

As I drift away
As I become more and more disconnected from my true self

Something's off
Something's not right, and I need to do something about it

I need to break away
I need to break free from the negative cycles and start fresh

You fall unto me
I feel a sense of peace and clarity settling over me

Like dreams that I have seen so vividly
Like a dream that I've longed for and finally achieved

We've been living in this void
We've been stuck in a meaningless and unfulfilling existence

It's time to make peace with me
It's time to make peace with myself and move forward with hope and purpose
