Lyrics:

Held captive by an apparition,
Denied of hope through fate's decision.
There is no purpose, there is no reason,
Only cruelty in the constellations.

Seven years and a hopeless dream,
The path I take has left me weak.
Disappointed eyes weighing down on me,
I cannot bear the weight of dependency.
Held captive by an apparition.
Seven yеars and a hopeless dream, aspiration dissipatеs before me.

Every hope and every dream, the man I told myself I'd be,
It's slipping away from me.
My time is running out, the water rising with my doubt,
And if I drown, then lay my body below the stars.

Held captive by an apparition.
I am a dreamer gleeful in his Stockholm syndrome.
Drowning has never been so comforting,
Even if I fail, this might just add up to something.

Bound by fate's decision,
Without purpose or reason.
Constellations take meaning,
Through the one who perceives them.

Every hope and every dream, the man I told myself I'd be,
It's slipping away from me.
My time is running out, the water rising with my doubt,
And if I drown, then lay my body below the stars.
Lay my body below the stars.

"I'll never be enough"
Words that have been etched into the stone walls raised to protect my ego from the id,
The orthodox from sin.
My bloodied fingers have tried and failed to rewrite my testament, but in the end,
Giving into what is meant for me won't change this crooked fate.
I will bend it and break it until it takes my shape.

Every hope and every dream, the man I told myself I'd be,
It's slipping away from me.
My time is running out, the water rising with my doubt,
And if I drown, then lay my body below the stars.
Every hope and every dream, the things I told you I could be,
It's slipping away from me.
My time is running out, the water rising with my doubt,
And if I drown, then lay my body below the stars.
My body below the stars.

Drowning has never been so comforting,
Seven years is only the beginning.
