Vanquishing the pain

Down tuned and dirty guitars playing hard fithy riffs, Low key male vocals, Power groove

(Chorus)
But I broke the trust, the holiest vow
With the secret venom I was using now
I lied to your face to hide the shame
And set our perfect world on fire with the flame
You loved me still, but you asked me to go
To heal the man you didn't even know
You hoped I'd find my way back to the light
But I chose the darkness, I chose the fight

(Verse 2)
The grey depression came down like a shroud
I couldn't speak my suffering out loud
So I built a wall of silence, brick by brick
And every moment made you heartsick
You'd reach for me, and I would pull away
A ghost who haunted our own every day
I told you that the venom brought me peace
A desperate lie to get a false release

(Chorus)
'Cause I broke the trust, the holiest vow
With the secret venom I was using now
I lied to your face to hide the shame
And set our perfect world on fire with the flame
You loved me still, but you asked me to go
To heal the man you didn't even know
You hoped I'd find my way back to the light
But I chose the darkness, I chose the fight

(Bridge)
The pain of leaving was too much to bear
A tearing agony in the empty air
So I ran to anger, I embraced the fall
Drank down more venom, and I gave it my all
I lost control, a runaway train
Fueled by the fury, driven by the pain
And in the wreckage of the man I’d become
I finally saw the damage I had done

(Chorus)
And I know I broke the trust, the holiest vow
With the stupid venom I don't need right now
I lied to your face and I carried the shame
That set our perfect world on fire with the flame
You loved me still when you asked me to go
To heal the man you didn't even know
You gave me a chance to get back to the light
But I was too lost in the darkness and the fight

(Outro)
The bridges burned to ashes and to dust
A final casualty of broken trust
I finally found my balance, clear and sane
But it was too little, and it was too late
So I stand alone now, and I breathe it in
This is the chapter where I must begin
Not to win you back, but to finally say
I'm vanquishing the pain, day by day.
DAY BY DAY.
DAY BY DAY.
DAY BY DAY.

Vanquishing the Pain (Verse 1) Thirteen years, we built a world from scratch A perfect picture, a perfect match You were the anchor in my manic sea The only one who truly saw the real me You understood the fight behind my eyes The rapid peaks, the crushing goodbyes To the man I was when the daylight shone You made our house of love a sacred home (Chorus) But I broke the trust, the holiest vow With the secret venom I was using now I lied to your face to hide the shame And set our perfect world on fire with the flame You loved me still, but you asked me to go To heal the man you didn't even know You hoped I'd find my way back to the light But I chose the darkness, I chose the fight (Verse 2) The grey depression came down like a shroud I couldn't speak my suffering out loud So I built a wall of silence, brick by brick And every moment made you heartsick You'd reach for me, and I would pull away A ghost who haunted our own every day I told you that the venom brought me peace A desperate lie to get a false release (Chorus) 'Cause I broke the trust, the holiest vow With the secret venom I was using now I lied to your face to hide the shame And set our perfect world on fire with the flame You loved me still, but you asked me to go To heal the man you didn't even know You hoped I'd find my way back to the light But I chose the darkness, I chose the fight (Bridge) The pain of leaving was too much to bear A tearing agony in the empty air So I ran to anger, I embraced the fall Drank down more venom, and I gave it my all I lost control, a runaway train Fueled by the fury, driven by the pain And in the wreckage of the man I’d become I finally saw the damage I had done (Chorus) And I know I broke the trust, the holiest vow With the stupid venom I don't need right now I lied to your face and I carried the shame That set our perfect world on fire with the flame You loved me still when you asked me to go To heal the man you didn't even know You gave me a chance to get back to the light But I was too lost in the darkness and the fight (Outro) The bridges burned to ashes and to dust A final casualty of broken trust I finally found my balance, clear and sane But it was too little, and it was too late So I stand alone now, and I breathe it in This is the chapter where I must begin Not to win you back, but to finally say I'm vanquishing the pain, day by day.
