Consistent Persistence Lyrics

Ages spent offering the benefit of doubt when it wasn't even remotely warranted

The bottom of the hourglass has been filled

The death of my tolerance clawed into stone and rooted above my head

Misfortune stalked while

My life was given to a cause my peers just casually pursued

Integrity lost to the fruitful by the lack of such

You are forbidden to associate with me

Consistent persistence

Even though I'm not welcome in my own home

We smeared our blood across the frame, but they still knock

And stand at my stoop the way they do at my grave

A peer unaware that this means everything

That they mean nothing

A rock that doesn't chip the glass

As I break my arms to move this mountain

Burn my palms shielding this torch against the wind

Out run the stone back down back down

I need the crushing feeling to will me back to the top

To watch it all come down again

I'll watch it all come down again
