Anna Pest - Belonging Lyrics

I've spent my life believing
All along that I was in control
But now, I know that as
A product of consequence
This flesh has trapped my soul
And leaves me

Barren to the life I had hoped for
Charon, take me in, away from this world
Maybe therein I'll find the peace that I sought
As this form is distorted by flames

I have been forced into something
That was never meant to be
My mind's been tainted by something
I was never meant to see
I'll never belong

I can hide my face and bury my flesh
But my blood the same still flows
That I might suffer through this force of belligerence
Which slowly takes its toll and leaves me

Empty to the world of potential
It's left me dying on the steps of the temple
To tempt me into my final submission
Ever to dwell in despair

I'll leave this behind
I won't be made to crawl like a worm
Through the dust of my severed name
Their eyes will be blind, their ears deaf
To all that I'm leaving to rust
And they'll never know
