Weakness
Poem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this like falling to the river?
Nothing to confess to myself, nothing to remember
Nothing to believe in my life, nothing but surrender
'Cause I'm getting off the river
I want to stand up and I fall, chaos will remember
Wanna be reborn and I die, chaos and surrender
