I'm Sorry

Track 10 of Dawn of the Dimetrix.

[Verse 1: Will Ryan - IRIS]

Would it help if I began to break my heart out to you?

I couldn't help but feel the empty words in every single move

Even when the fog had cleared, the damage had dissolved

Didn't mean it was resolved

So no more parting prayers

When the tears were falling, I felt more despair

So now, what the hell had I become?

How can I make it up?

Should I ever get to prove myself?

That was up to you

Was I always yours to share, or was I just your Deja Vu?

Now my memory is clear, I'm strong of mind to know

I'll pay my dues when everyone's retreated from my show

[Pre-Chorus: IRIS]

I'm a mortal mess

You were better off without my dark caress

And now, there's nothing more to say

[Chorus: IRIS]

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for the pain that I had ever caused

It wasn't right of course, I've nothing but remorse

No taking it back, the bridge has burned, it's all on me

I'm a walking mess that's doomed to your divorce

All I feel is more alone

All I know is every stitch was opened whole

Now you're free, forgiveness is no desolate debris

I'm sorry!

[Verse 2: *Lollia Rose*]

*There's a longer road ahead of you, healing has begun*

*From the first mistake, you rectify your wrongs instead of run*

*But if we're being open to you, child, we're no perfect saints*

*For we're all a part of this same trap we paint*

[Pre-Chorus: *Lollia*]

*In the end, we won't deny*

*We'd be fools to only try to justify*

*So now, we've got much more to say*

[Chorus: IRIS]

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for the pain that I had ever caused

It wasn't right of course, I've nothing but remorse

No taking it back, the bridge has burned, it's all on me

I'm a walking mess that's doomed to your divorce

All I feel is more alone

All I know is every stitch was opened whole

Now you're free, forgiveness is no desolate debris

[Bridge: Both]

I feel born a parasite, why aren't you gone away?

*Hold me close, you're not alone*

Was it me who made this genocide revive? I'm drowning anyway

*Then I'll dive to save your heart made out of stone*

Holding onto the bitter end, just as you desired

*Don't treat destiny like dominoes that fall*

**We're too blind to make assertions that we cannot bend,** we only rectify

*We're both sinners to the demons in us all*

**So together we can fall**

(instrumental solo)

[Pre-Chorus: IRIS]

Here we are, at last

Though the journey's long, this vision I will cast

That now, there's more for me to stay

[Chorus: **Both**]

**I'm sorry**

**I'm sorry for the darkness I consumed too long**

**And in the end, I hope to bare the rights from wrongs**

**No taking it back, regret will burn the bridge we made**

**We've begun ascension like foretold in fate**

Now I feel as one again

*(Now I feel as one again)*

We'll never stray from wonderous paths, no matter when

*(No matter when)*

**Now we're free,** I don't regret the words that will repeat

[Post-Chorus: **Both**]

I'm sorry!

*In a second, we'll be whole, but adventure's what we hold so close*

I am sorry!

*We'll get out just in time to see the stars collide*

**I am SORRY!!!**

[Outro: IRIS]

I feel stone cold dry...

I'm still born and meant to fly...
