A Life Ahead – SXMRXXT Lyrics
Oh-oh-oh… yeah
We made it to the edge of the woods
Look at that view
Listen
I’m standing on the pavement, looking at the road
Shedding every single ounce of the heavy load
The sun is hitting my face, it’s warm and it’s bright
Washing away the last remnants of the long night
I ain't running from the past, I ain't running from the pain
I’m just thankful that I survived the pouring rain
Jainendra is the name, no aliases left to build
The empty spaces in my chest are finally being filled
Not with praise, not with numbеrs, not with industry gold
But with the simple, hearty truth that I’m lеarning to hold
I look down at my hands and they’re steady and calm
Every scar on my skin is turning into a balm
I spent so long writing stories about the end of the line
But today I’m starting a brand new chapter of mine
And there is a life ahead, stretching out so wide
No more monsters hiding deep down inside
I’m stepping into the open, stepping into the day
With nothing but love to guide me along the way
Yeah, it’s beautiful, it’s terrifying, it’s perfectly real
A life ahead… and I’m ready to feel
Thank you to the boy who kept me alive through the dark
Who sat in the empty studio chasing a spark
Thank you to the tragedies that taught me how to bleed
They gave me the medicine that I didn't know I’d need
But the architect has rested, the web has unraveled
Look at all the miles of the road we’ve traveled
To get to this moment, to get to this breath
Where we’re choosing life instead of flirting with death
I’m independent, I’m free, I’m entirely whole
TRMS, SAMPIRE, the empire of the soul
But it’s bigger than the music, it’s bigger than the art
It’s about being human with a fully open heart
So I walk down the driveway, I don't look back
Following the sunlight on the gravel track
And the road goes on!
As far as the eye can see!
No more prisons made of fiction keeping a hold on me!
I am stepping forward, every single day!
Breathing in the future, throwing the masks away!
A life ahead!
Yeah, a life ahead!
And there is a life ahead, stretching out so wide
No more monsters hiding deep down inside
I’m stepping into the open, stepping into the day
With nothing but love to guide me along the way
Yeah, it’s beautiful, it’s terrifying, it’s perfectly real
A life ahead… and I’m ready to feel
A life ahead
We’re finally here
