Lifeless, Faultless

Degrees of Truth

Compositor: Claudia Nora Pezzotta

Sinking deep down
The well of failure, you see
We do not run like faultless gears

Burning inside
We crawl out, trying another way
Desperate to find the moment we would halt
Soon to drown in waves of time

And once more, we realize the ruin comes from our own hands
Born from all those wasted words
From the never broken silence

Like a storm we can’t foresee
Soon the story takes the worst turn
Even saints and heroes fall
Prey to fear and rage
Cursed to another wrong move
Damned to tragic downfall
Still somehow we’re going on

Spiraling up and spiraling down
And rising back just to fall again
The fault of today will be
What will lead us forward

Spiraling down and spiraling up
We’re caught in the dance of life again
Looking back we wonder seeing
Long’s the way we’ve come

Once more, ruins you can’t erase will pave a new road
We need something to live for
May the perfect moment never come!

May the storm come over me
May the story take the worst turn
May the saint and hero fall
Prey to fear and rage
Blessed to live through downfall
Ever-changing, growing
Still imperfect, still alive

Sinking deep down
Spiraling upwards
We don’t run like faultless gears
We will fail again
Blessed to live through downfall
And to sail forward
May perfection never come
I am still alive
