Strife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went reaching for freedom
All I got handed was a gun

(And the shot rang out)
Memories are toturing
My dreams are filled with ghosts
The Past has come to claim the one
With an empty soul

Take it away and just let me sleep
The light is fadin
Take it away and just let me be
Someone just take me out

(And the shot rang out)
I now stand with gun in hand
Alone with my own plan
Too much pain flows through veins
For me to turn away

Take it away and just let me sleep
The light has faded
Take it away and just give me peace
Someone just fucking take me out





Just take me out

My anxiety's clawing
Out from deep within me
It burns within as my throat begins to cauterize

This negativity's leeching
Any shred of composure
Rationale has decayed and left me bound in madness

I reach for calm
I starve for a balance unknown
This burden tortures me deep in my soul

I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way

How I yearn for the silence
For an end to the voices
The calamity grows and the deafness leads to disarray

Guilt buries me alive
In a coffin - criticized
I shouldered the blame and dug this hole for me to lay in

I reach for calm
I starve for a balance unknown
This burden tortures me deep in my soul

I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way

I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search has been all in vain
And I struggle to find my way

I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way

I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search has been all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
