Ouroboros by Empty Atlas Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2020

The night is dark; a heavy heart can only weigh you down
The moon is dead; a new one's yet to shift the tides and pull you out
In better days, you'd celebrate by locking all your doors
Yet here you are, a victim of the very fate you tried to ward

Is this how it starts?

It's coming around
Nothing for it
Ouroboros
The peace that you've found
Could tear you to pieces
Could be just what you needed now

Let it go; tooth and claw; unhinge your jaw
Swallow your pride and move on
Be done with it, the infinite back and forth between good and then gone
A bait and switch, a fever pitch; thrown by your own false alarms
It weighs you down, coils ‘round; right in that instant, you can't see the harm

Is this how it starts?
It's coming around
Nothing for it
Ouroboros
The peace that you've found
Could tear you to pieces
Could be just what you needed

Now, when you get what you always wanted to, it starts to go wrong
Well, well, well enough alone isn't set in stone
You may learn what it was when it's already gone
