Soothsayer - Identity Lyrics

Sifting
Through ash of my ambition
I'm reminded I'm a slave to life's attrition
But You have your whole life in front of you
Don't let let this callous world consume you
It just can't get enough

Gripping it's crooked fingers around your throat
Gripping
Your
Throat

Everyday is a struggle just to exist
We pretend to believe that there's something greater in the end
Don't hang on to a promise
If you're torn just know you're not the only one

Who will you become?
Who do you want to be?
Whatever you choose, leave your legacy
And let you your light shine bright
Be a beacon in the dead of night

Drifting
In search of what's accepted
Molding ourselves because we fear to be rejected
Clouding our self perception
We're hiding from our own reflections
Don't be ashamed stand tall go on just show yourself
Don't waste your time pretending to be like someone else

Don't waste your time pretending to be like someone else
Follow your heart never cower from who you are

When this world infects you with its carnal poison
Keep your eyes clear
Don't let all the noise in
Make your decisions wisely
You get one chance
Cherish who makes you happy
Save them the last dance

Who will you become?
Who will you be?
Whatever you choose, leave your legacy
And let your light shine bright
Be a beacon in the dead of night

There's only one reason I can find
To throw it all away
And leave it all behind
But you're the reason that I don't quit
I hope I'm still here when you hear this

My pride my joy
You're the air that fills my lungs
You're my life, my boy
When my world starts shaking you're my solid ground

I hope you remember more good than bad
Looking back at the life we have
So when you're lost and you feel alone
I promise I'll always come running home

This paradox life is toxic
So empty yet you feel boxed in
Time burns extinguishing conflicts but the end results are frozen it's nonsense
Some days you won't seem to win
Stress yourself out you're wearing thin
Can't back out now we're in too deep
Waiting for something to set you free
Come and set me free

You are my true identity
Forever the greatest part of me

I hope you remember more good than bad
Looking back at the life we have
So when you're lost and you feel alone
I promise I'll always come running home
