Suffering Made Bliss Lyrics

Our hearts are trapped
In a spiral of struggle
Futile battle for another dawn
Dreaming of heavens
Heading south further and further
Craving for peace - devoted to war
In search for purpose
In search for meaning
But ending up with vile frustration
For even the richest content
And the purest of joys
Cannot satisfy our hunger anymore

Hearts like vessels, impossible to fill
Leaking the blood, drop by drop

Promises made by us for ourselves
A spark of hope - shield and weapon alike
To hide behind and to strike with wrath
Yet the target is us and it attracts the blade

Every thought we breed tonight
Every chance we face
Every choice we make
They all lead us back
Every dream we breed tonight
Every chance we take
Every choice we make
They all lead us back
Every scar we get tonight
Every memory
Every star and every day

Day after day alone we paint the scars
Layer upon layer and brush is the knife
Day after day alone we paint the scars
Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart

Every thought we breed tonight
Every chance we face
Every choice we make
They all lead us back
Every dream we breed tonight
Every chance we take
Every choice we make
They all lead us back
Every scar we get tonight
Every memory
And this starlit sky
They all lead us back
Every suffering, every joy
Every night and every day

Day after day alone we paint the scars
Layer upon layer and brush is the knife
Day after day alone we paint the scars
Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart

Suffering made bliss
A promise of peace
Self-sacrifice
In hope of serenity
Suffering made bliss
Prosthetic of peace
To kindle a light
In the darkness of mere being

Thicker and thicker
One more scab we paint
To fill the hole again
Thicker and thicker
One more scab we paint
To feel whole again

And no one knows
When it falls apart
