Nevertheless (She Persisted)

[00:39.03] I wrote my own ending
[00:39.52] Bled out from wounds I thought beyond mending
[00:43.79] I reached into the void
[00:44.51] The darkness touched me with her hands
[00:46.73] She kissed my forehead
[00:48.68] Whispered to me
[00:50.06] "Baby, it's not time to meet me yet"
[00:53.52] Maybe that's what hurt the most
[01:08.73] Not even the totality death could even bear to hold me close
[01:15.98] So I let go
[01:21.69] Tear down my walls
[01:25.41] And watch my insides blow apart
[01:29.23] Cause when I fall
[01:33.66] I'm gonna give it my whole heart
[01:38.07] My greatest asset
[01:41.39] My biggest weakness
[01:42.13] I'll open up
[01:44.19] Because I chose to believe this
[01:48.59] I made a choice to believe this
[01:54.36] We preach compassion
[01:56.53] But then refuse to love ourselves
[01:59.04] Hated my darkness
[02:00.95] Still I couldn't ask for help
[02:03.38] Still asking questions
[02:04.76] Waiting for you all to leave
[02:08.09] I cannot steep in love
[02:09.18] When I am loathing me
[02:29.74] I reached into the void
[02:30.36] And darkness touched me with her hands
[02:31.91] She kissed my forehead
[02:34.18] Whispered to me
[02:34.69] "Baby, it's not time to meet me yet"
[02:39.62] And that's when everything went still
[02:48.07] A single thought before I fell
[02:51.60] Compassion without compromise
[02:55.55] Can only thrive
[02:56.95] When I include myself
[03:02.15] Nevertheless, I persisted
[03:05.77] Nevertheless, I resist
[03:10.47] Nevertheless, I persisted
[03:14.54] Nevertheless, I exist
[03:20.37]
