Fissure

(album: Bloodied / Unbowed - 2019)

When destroyed you rebuild
It's the same old song, the most vital one
When destroyed you rebuild
Lest you let away fly their only aid
And you turn astray letting fanned flame just fade away

Choose not to forget just how cold it gets
When you're staring at the winter in her eyes

They're crying out for the medics so we answered in panic
Reaching out for their arms hoping all's not lost but we're met with
But we're met with a response unexpected
Anesthesia in the needle is rejected
They could die from this life and they're running out of time, but they scribed their wrists:
Do not revive!
Do not revive!
They could die from this life and they're running out of time, but they scribed their wrists:
Do not revive

Are you the one to raise the dead in me
I'll give you anything, let's start with my body
I see you chasing don't give up on me
But if you reach me please do not revive me
Do not revive me...

When destroyed you rebuild
There's no rebuilding the dead
When destroyed you rebuild
Look around there's nothing left
But the desperate
They can learn from the fall
We could catch them
But it's not what they want
You don't know
We stayed the course relentless
Now it's time to let go!
It's time to let go...

My dear, I can hear you pleading
And I can see, I can see you've been bleeding
I'm reaching out and I'm wanting to help
But first off you've gotta cover yourself
There's more to love than what's on your surface
And I'll be to blame for your next scar, I promise
Don't be ashamed, it's my fault that I caution
I've failed to grow and am not to be trusted

Are you the one to raise the dead in me
I'll give you anything, let's start with my body
I see you chasing don't give up on me
But if you reach me please do not revive me
Do not revive me...

There's no rebuilding the dead!
There's no rebuilding the dead!
There's no rebuilding the dead but look around
There's nothing else left!

(Do not revive me...)
