Penance to Sorrow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Outside I'm looking for an answer
Cause inside is gone
Each step the ground beneath me starts to break
I can't hold on

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey you) Been hurting for a lifetime
(Hey you) What for?

[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit, things are worn
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow

[Verse 2]
Look out, the feeling's rushing back again
Too much, too numb
It's ripped the seam, I stitch it up again
Somehow it stays on

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey you) Been hurting for a lifetime
(Hey you) What for?
[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Piecеs don't fit things are worn
Destroyed by a pеnance to sorrow

[Bridge]
Staring back at me
I won't ever be free
Go go go
Never be free
Go go go
Never be free
(I can't break it)
(I can't fix it)

[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit things are worn
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow
[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit things are worn
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow

Go! Go! Go!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
