Back and Forth Songtext
von Indigo Ice

This is meaningless oscillation

Don′t remember why, but the knee-jerk's there
You′re fucking dirt to me, blood's as thin as air
These hours alone have opened up my eyes
To the filth that infests in a broken mind

Now the ghosts keep me sane in the silence

Nursing gouged out eyes, and they're fading to black
Ruminating (ruminating), panic attack
Shifting blame, taking shame
Making blind men see through rose shades


Please (please) it′s far too much
I′m having tremors from my feet to chattering teeth
I don't remember how it felt
All I feel is the swell in my chest and the spasm
Crippled, falling to the floor
Get it under control
I can′t remember who I am
All I am is a man on his knees
Rotten roots on the trees
But all I see are the leaves

Nursing gouged out eyes, and they're fading to black
Ruminating, panic attack
Shifting blame, taking shame
Making blind men see through rose shades

I′m moving forward, saving my own skin
Taking everything, conceding nothing
Confirmation forms, breaking through but still torn
I've never felt so free, I haven′t felt like myself
You had a hand in who I was
Sculpted by the hands of tragedy
Am I who I was or the result of empathy?

Getting lost in the freefall
Crawling out of my skin
Soaking in waves of emotion
But now I'm numb to it

I was born an empath
My heart will beat in time
I've been moving too fast
Pulling these shackles with a broken spine


Pulling shackles
Pulling shackles
