The Myth of the Flame (Resilience)

Author: Midnight Volt Title: The Myth of the Flame (Resilience) Lyrics: [Intro] I threw away the keys I destroyed the door There’s no “us” any longer [Verse 1] I won’t chase your fading ghost anymore I threw away the keys, I destroyed the door Go ahead and laugh, thinking you’re the stronger one But the game is over now, the illusions are done You feed your ego on my soul’s deep sobs Sucking out my life with these bittersweet drops We’ll see who holds out longer in this silent war I’m used to cruelty—I don't care anymore [Pre-Chorus] You love the regret, you love the tragic view While I’m just trying to forget the ghost of you We’ll spin in circles, a loop that will not bend But when you play your games... this is where they end I have nothing left to say [Chorus] I break the chains I am tearing down the wall My dearest twin I watched our empire fall Today there’s only pain A shadow on the floor You locked up my soul But I’m unlocking the door (I cry deep in my soul!) (But I survive!) [Verse 2] You thought your pressure would bend me till I break Enjoy your short victory, enjoy the prize you take A monument of ice under your toxic glow There is no warmth left in the resilience I show You can't reach me in the quiet where I stay A thousand miles apart, a universe away [Pre-Chorus] Because you love the regret, you love the tragic view While I’m just trying to forget the ghost of you But when you play your games, I shut myself away I hope you’re happy with the price you have to pay The flame is dead! [Chorus] I break the chains I am tearing down the wall My dearest twin I watched our empire fall Today there’s only pain A shadow on the floor You locked up my soul But I’m unlocking the door (I cry deep in my soul!) (But I survive!) [Bridge] Sad story short... the twin flame was a lie A sick illusion beneath a broken sky You have to outgrow the wreckage, look into the shelf If your parents never did it, you must love yourself You can't heal the past, you can't love anyone If you don't love yourself, the damage can't be undone It's over! [Outro] Twin flame is nonsense (You must love yourself.) No us any longer (I destroyed the door.) I am enough
