lyrics

===
CYR: Why don’t I heal myself?
Why do I still have the pain if I’m such a healer?
I can’t answer that
===

Burned the old world
Cursed its nightmare
Stole away right when day began
Killed the ghost behind ya
A wild-eyed moment glowed bright within ya

Thought you were dying
Picked an empire
Traced the outline with stolen pen
Hung it high upon your wall
Drank up the praise
Threw it onto your cinders

Black mirror in your palm
Guides you home
Where your reflection falls
Your shadow grows
Begging

Do something good while you can
Quit trying to force your hand
How are your dreams?
Were they Just plans?
Do something good while you

Reason only
Burrow tightly
Gather more than you need to live
Your hard-earned fortune
Was just a long walk in gold boots you were given

On the new world
When I find you
Blank eyes smiling in the wind
Have you done anything good
Winding this old mark you keep tracing?

Black mirror in your palm
Guides you home
Where your reflection falls
Your shadow grows
Looming towards old wisdom you have known

Do something good while you can
While there’s still light
Walk home again
Make sure your dreams
Aren’t just plans
Do something good while you can
While you can

Do something good while you can
Do something good while you can
Do something good while you can
Do something good while you can
Do something good while you can
Do something good while you can
Do something good while you can

===
CYR: I’m real curious if I’m going to make it to the next level
Which is fine with me, I just don’t know
