"Valhalla" lyrics - ERRA

Shed your skin, days on years
Punished by pressured time
When underneath, you're balancing
All this hate and selfless misconception

What once was full is just the husk of a deceived
Creature of habits, black ink can't pierce this deep

By your side, I watched the birds of prey
Bind the skies and hold in wait
We cannot mend what is sealed by fate
No future, contentment with complacency

Absorbing disappointment
Bite the hand that feeds, I gave up everything
To make you feel complete

Drenched in cold sweat from lost comfort of safety
You resonate with hatred

My pulse is racing in my chest, I lie awake to
Imagine pathways of escape as they disappear

All these words mean nothing
If we fall face first, fall face first from running away
From something that we saw coming

Embrace this sunset as cloak and dagger
For you to cower, hidden by shadows
With filthy nails of gripping cowards
Shed your skin

Refuse to be loved by yourself
To grow free from villainous vines
Refuse love from anyone else
To sever ties that have grown intertwined

My failing mind has been oppressed and I lie awake to
Embrace a pathway of escape, disappear without a trace

All these words mean nothing
If we fall face first, fall face first from running away
From something that we saw coming

Rise through the wake
Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
Rise through the wake
Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide

Shed your skin
Shed your skin
I've always known what's underneath

Rise through the wake or be the crashing waves

Rise through the wake
Sliding through the pulse of the ocean tide
Rise through the wake
Slide

Refuse to be loved by yourself
To grow free from villainous vines
Refuse love from anyone else
To sever ties that have grown intertwined
