Quers'd - The Dance

Falling, but backwards. #CyberDjent #Synthwave #MathMetal #ProgressiveMetal #ElectronicMetal #Djent #Quersd #OfSwords I know this soul I carry now was engineered to fly Will I kiss my grip on the familiar earth goodbye? Or clip my virgin wings so they can never brave the sky? Which is worse? To fail and fall, or trials never tried?? I'm needed here... can't just disappear without a trace... Or am I lying, am I just hiding from a world I'm terrified to face? Circle after circle after circle, dance the dance Find a way to twist the story and the circumstance Circling the one to whom I claim that I am bound A reason, an excuse, a tether to hold me to the ground My cowardice often looks like selflessness. Staying close to help the ones who live in helplessness So I can wave away my opportunities to rise above Pretend my cowardice is charity, that all this fear is love The weight of every anchor is a weight that I allow I'm not the one who's helping—I'm the one who's helpless now Circle after circle after circle, dance the dance Find a way to twist the story and the circumstance Circling the one to whom I claim that I am bound A reason, an excuse, a tether to hold me to the ground Am I strong enough to stand alone upright and without shame To face the light and scorching heat of truth's unyielding flame Will I burn to ash within or on it's rising thermals soar? All I know is I can't hide behind excuses anymore. (You can take to the skies...You're stronger than you could ever know) (Take your doubts, and cast them out, sow confidence and let it grow) (Face the world, with wings unfurled, let the truth inside of you show) (And if you fall... you can stand up tall, you've got a friend here below...) (You faced your trial. You earned that smile) Circle after circle after circle dance the dance Find a way to see the story true from the expanse Circling the one to whom I choose to orbit round The friend, the center that sheltered me on the ground
