Skyshaper - Emerge Lyrics

I won't emerge
My vision fades to black
At once, I know I've been here before
While my conscience holds me back
My body has had enough, my mind screams for more
Watching my joints twist 'til they break
Stepped into the mud others crawl in
To get to the top
I won't be recognized
For what I am or have been
Not all of me will leave this pit
Just enough to be seen
The only way I know is up
Across hundreds of toothless faces wishing me good luck
Towards the sky
Never have I fallen so high
My path won't lead the way
Emerging to a swift breath of bliss and decay
I've never made it this far
Closing pathways with every step
There's no conscience to hold me back
Those piled up hopes cracking under my feet
Are merely my lead
Giving the cause
Making me dream
Making me compete
Wash away what longs for me
I don't want to be remembered
Not anymore
Just seen through other eyes
Not knowing what I went through
Or unwilling to see
The price I paid lies far behind
Still buried in the mud
Trying to escape
Towards the sky
Never have I fallen
Never have I fallen so high
I have emerged
