Just Another Mistake

from The Suffering & The Aftermath by IO

/

lyrics

Oh what’s it gonna take to replace all the mistakes that I’ve made
Trusting too much and letting myself believe that they cared
It was all just a farce and I couldn’t foresee the tragedy that came next
But I never gave in no matter how much pain I had to take from it all
I’ve wasted so much time so many years I’ll never get back
Holding solace in the fact that they couldn’t corrupt this mind of mine
With my conscience held intact, its redesigned and so much more defined
There’s no point in looking back with regret coz it shaped the very thing I came to be

Embrace it, your life is only ever what you make it
Re-lace it, numb all the feeling and the pain til you can face it
Suffer through it, pain is temporary, glory is eternal
Refuse it, all the lies that they told us for so long

I’m tired of the same thing day after day after day
Re-wired it, same mind new tricks to destroy their game
Didn’t expect it coz they wrote me off so long ago
Manifesting, I’ll make ‘em eat their words every single time

I’m not associated
They Misappropriated
Now they’re left with nothing
Nothing but their petty whines and squabbling
Enough is enough

So many bigger problems to deal with-ah
Not a chance I won’t be your tool
Pair delusions with low vibrations
No time to be lectured by fools
Just another mistake

Oh what’s it gonna take to replace all the mistakes that I’ve made
Trusting too much and letting myself believe that they cared
It was all just a farce and I couldn’t foresee the tragedy that came next
But I never gave in no matter how much pain I had to take from it all
I’ve wasted so much time so many years I’ll never get back
Holding solace in the fact that they couldn’t corrupt this mind of mine
With my conscience held intact, it’s redesigned and so much more defined
There’s no point in looking back with regret coz it shaped the very thing I came to be

Couldn’t deny me It won’t change the fact they came up short
I had to go Forced to save the little sanity that I’d retained
Then tragically had to watch as all the pain devoured everything
And the insanity was there was nothing I could do to take it all away
And I’m tired from the same thing day after day after day
What’s required torn out of me again and again and again
Never relenting, I couldn’t stop trying even if I wanted to
Coz if I did I’d never learn to live with myself

Help came in little measure
A life Devoid of pleasure
I never thought it’d turn out like it did
Or just how much that I had lost along the way

So many bigger problems to deal with-ah
Not a chance I won’t be your tool
Pair delusions with low vibrations
No time to be lectured by fools
Just another mistake

I had
To break
That cycle
Of slavery

So I carved this path
Made of sheer will and wrath
Despite the odds
No matter what the cost
I came to destroy all the evil that they’ve done
To make life liveable again

This is not the end
Way past the point to mend
This is not the end

IO
become the vision, dissolve the friction
Become the visions, dissolve the friction
They were always one and the same

Oh what’s it gonna take to replace all the mistakes that I’ve made
Trusting too much and letting myself believe that they cared
It was all just a farce and I couldn’t foresee the tragedy that came next
But I never gave in no matter how much pain I had to take from it all
I’ve wasted so much time so many years I’ll never get back
Holding solace in the fact that they couldn’t corrupt this mind of mine
With my conscience held intact, its redesigned and so much more defined
There’s no point in looking back with regret coz it shaped the very thing I came to be
