I won't gamble with the sacred dice
can you hear the singing of the birds arise
singing in tongues
surrender my disguise
oh sacrifice
the wind chimes are humming softly at dawn
the change of the season is on its way
bearing the voices
time to loosen the threads
seems like you are weak
you missed your goals
you went astray
you're a failure
seems like you are weak (play safe)
you missed your goals (no risk)
you went astray (obey)
you're a failure (don't make any faults)
can't you see you're out of control (don't cry)
you don't fit in (oh, I don't wanna)
you'll never succeed (cry)
you're an escapist (I'm scared to the bone)
can't you see you're out of control (I'm afraid)
you don't fit in (of being)
you'll never succeed (stripped to)
you're an escapist (the bone)
now is the time (I'm afraid)
to make a stand against these drags (of being left)
release, breath (alone)
and overcome your doubts and misery
face your anxiety and grow
allow myself to make space
every detour comes full circle
oh devotion
