Perseverance (original song, layered acapella + drum loop)

Photo taken by Alberto V. Drums are a garageband loop as I sadly don't know how to make my own yet. Sonic nod to Tori's '99 performances of Blood Roses in the you you yous. Everything else is my own.

Following, following, following, following.

Following the path to freedom, following the light that she
refuses to relinquish her belief in.
Following the road that winds and twists and takes you round in circles
trusting only her determination.

Don't you know how hard it can get?
Don't assume I just hadn't thought of that yet.
Don't you know how fucking weary one gets?
Don't assume I just haven't been shown the way yet.

You don't see, you can't see, you won't see
you make it even harder baby.

Following, following, following, following.

Following the sonic mother, following the chosen sister
following the blood that doesn't choke you.
Following hopeful resilience, following her perseverance
following her heart as strong as iron.

Don't you know I am aware of all this?
Don't you see I'm already trying to fix it?
Don't you know that stumbling's inevitable?
Don't you see that love is patient to break the fall?

I can't see, I can't see, I can't see and
you don't know how to make it easy baby.

I'm following the songlines, I'm going where the hope lies.
