Split Iris - “Oath“ (Official Music Video)

FOLLOW SPLIT IRIS: Spotify: Apple Music: Facebook: Instagram: LYRICS: Standing here I know there’s more I could’ve given For what it’s worth I fought, oh I fought But some things won’t bend only with passion and thought It’s something else we sought... Something suppressed a lifetime ago As a means to cope with this life and getting through A world such as this Falling into the abyss Trying to keep it silent, but it resists Falling further down, seeing no tomorrow Thinking this is all I deserve, living on time I borrow Everything I tried to preserve, abandoning me in my sorrow An empty shell, a living hell, making existence hollow Standing here I know there’s nothing I wouldn’t have given For what it’s worth I fought back the only way I was taught But I know the end is something I brought upon myself Is this what I sought? A fleeting sensation, a flicker within Something which was always there Making me care once again Pass on the fire to carry the promise Carving it into my skin To never forget the words But soon I’m gone Oh, please don’t let it die out with me What’s left to be when any of this will no longer suffice A story bought to supplement the emptiness of lies Where I once had something to hold on to Somewhere buried to be forgotten All the years of sacrifice, the knowledge gained How fragile it ended up being, hanging by a thread Hanging, hanging When it breaks what is left? Will it all be lost? That fleeting sensation making itself known to me Showing something that could be Making me see Faced with the imminent Resurfacing from within All that I tried to forget It demands to be known and heard It has been silent for too long In the name of self-empathy Making my life absent of it, making it worse for myself Don’t let me slip it screams at me Don’t leave it fade to emptiness Pass on the fire to carry the promise Carving it into my skin To never forget the words But soon I’m gone Oh, please don’t let it die out with me Don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t leave
