Cycle Songtext
von Æther Realm

Sometimes when i take a step back and look at my life
It seems like a cycle repeating itself over and over
With loss, stress, hunger and hopelessness
All building up to a brief moment of triumph
That seems to grow briefer with every repetiton
And after that moment fades away I realize
I haven′t undergone any great transformation
I'm left hopeless and disappointed in myself for failing to
Live up to my own expectations which is where the cycle repeats
Does it just go on forever?

The light has gone and I can′t move on
When I look inside I know I have myself to blame
I see the hurt in their eyes all the same


A short revival and then the crash
And thus the cycle repeats for me at last
A brief reprisal before the end
And thus the cycle begins for me again

The taste-once sweet-has lost allure to me
There's a beast inside, I keep it locked up far away
But it always escapes and repays

And then the lights fall dim and the world grows colder
Victim of a manmade misery
And with a manic grin it derives my torture
Ripping at the seams of victory

A short revival and then the crash
And thus the cycle repeats for me at last
A brief reprisal before the end
And thus the cycle begins for me again
