Name: Counterpart
Duration: P00H03M48S
Description: Counterpart describes the struggle that people endure to show the truest versions of themselves and the societal obstructions that make it difficult for people to present themselves in the way they wish.

lyrics

A titan born from the abstract counterpart
All that's left behind and torn apart
What do you expect when you add fuel to the fire?
I'm done with making sense of who we are.

Grown into a space you'll never find
Your righteous mind will never cross this line
Buried with the will you set aside
You turn the other cheek to the voice inside.

Refractions in my mind are so persistent
Clouds around my conscience leave it sore
Why must I face such resistance
To salvage what is left of my perfect flaws?

Where did it all begin? I said it from the start
Exceeding limitations, you've taken me too far.

Grown into a space you'll never find
Your righteous mind will never cross this line
Buried with the will you set aside
You turn the other cheek to the voice inside.

Torn apart, (This isn't who we are!)
From the start, (This isn't who we are!)
Set aside (This isn't who we are!)
Don't you cross this line!

Grown into a space you'll never find
Your righteous mind will never cross this line
Buried with the will you set aside
You turn the other cheek to the voice inside.
