Relevant Discord - The Rift Within (Reconstructed) Lyrics

Enter this winter of my discontent
A season recurring I long to forget
Of promises failing, then backs that have turned
A lifetime of scars that were never deserved

See what’s become of a lone winter night
Like a dense fog surrounding, I’m thirsty for sight
For I’m not where I should be as you look away
I guess I never mattered with actions you take
So I’m citing rejection, I’m citing betrayal
For this absence of care and this absence of faith
In a hope for redemption, a hope for a change
I’m adept incompletion and all it contains

Is there more
Than this?
I need more
Than this

Through it all, will I ever play the pessimist and
As I run, will I run from everything I trusted?
Was I wrong, when I thought we really shared potential?
Will I find, will I find a hope that is enduring?

I question your motives as you turn blind eyes
To what you devastate, to what you leave behind
But I’ll not be forgotten for I’ll choose to rise
I’ll become more than memory locked in your mind

I will not be your martyr; I won’t be a slave
To this world you created, this one you can’t tame
I will be something more than what you hoped to be
I will find the completion you never would see

So as you’re nearing the end, as you’re nearing the grave
Will you look back at your life and finally say
I wish things had been different; what have I become?
Is there a way to undo these things that I’ve done?

I am broken; I’m empty, I need something more
I am broken; I’m empty
I’m broken; I’m empty
I’m broken; I’m empty
I’m empty
I’m empty
I’m empty
I’m empty
I’m empty
