State of Decay by The Motion Below Lyrics

Swinging in the dark I'll never make my mark, so leave me to waste away
I'll find contentment in my state of decay

Climbing out of this pit may have been the death of me
But I refuse to play slave to this grief
I know that I need to, you see that I want to carry myself out of this mess
Watch me as I rise from beneath

We're still stuck here in this state of decay. I gave you everything, but always wanting more
Now all I have to show is painful memories

So where do you draw the line between surrender, and acceptance of self and circumstance?
What separates the lost causes from the unjustly scorned?

Breeding toxicity, you cannot snap free, even in spite of all that we've seen
Any opportunity presented, eternally rejected
How do you expect to grow?

We're still stuck here in this state of decay. I gave you everything, but always wanting more
Now all I have to show is painful memories
So where do you draw the line between surrender, and acceptance of self and circumstance?
What separates the lost causes from the unjustly scorned?

My heart sinks every time I witness this forfeiture of agency
Maybe I expected too much from you. Either way, you won't see me again
I tried and tried, my friend, but there's no reaching you with your head in the sand
You only reap what you sow, so I guess you're pulling weeds

So where do you draw the line between surrender, and acceptance of self and circumstance?
What separates the lost causes from the unjustly scorned?
Cut me free from everything
So where do you draw the line between surrender, and acceptance of self and circumstance?
What separates the lost causes from the unjustly scorned?
