Temperance Lyrics

What does it mean to find it?

Something that keeps you safe

Closing shutters or being quiet

Or being locked in a safe?

An empty shell, a bird in a cage, a drained well, a curtained stage

You can't bleed with no skin to break

To try at all is a mistake

Can I feel at all?

Every day, on repeat, feels like I'm losing me

It seems this darkness is my home, so where else can I go?

Will I ever know?

Every day, in my memory, I've spent getting acquainted

With something in proximity to desperate and complacent

And if that changed would I still be me?

Without that pain what would I be?

Will I ever know peace?

Do I feel at all?

Not a bit, every day, think that I'm losing me

And when I try to picture growth I see a face that's not my own

Will I ever know?

What it means to find it, is it actually real?

(Will I ever know?)

If I could really try it without not trying at all?

(Will I ever know?)

Who I really am if all this pain could be released?

(Will I ever know?; If I'll ever know?)

If I'll ever know?
