The Mercy Cage – Defeat lyrics

Flawed and restless by design
I see this apathy pushed through
A combination of years, of pills, and you

A vague expression through default
There's not much left that I can say
At least you tolerate me
Every goddamned fucking day

I am learning to crawl
Like pigs in shit we wallow
We revel in co-dependency
I am learning to crawl
I will not deny this
I will never admit defeat

Redirect
Internalise
This depression crutch is getting pretty lame
Ripped upon the oceans of another minds distress
It's insane...
I never thought the song would remain the same

I am learning to crawl
With my blood upon your hands
To rein in this conceit
I am learning to call
To not exclude you from this
Tol never admit defeat

I know, this seems so shameless
I know, you were never pristine
I know, You're not entirely blameless
I know, but only in dreams...

A small redress
This violet light
Coloured by preoccupations
With me in red and you in white
When all is said and when I'm done
This obsession was never really any fun...

I will not deny this
I will never admit defeat
