The World As Broken

(앨범: Letters From The Dead - 2016)

You are the venomous
Empty brilliance
I am upset with what I've become
I am defenseless, hardly broken
I am irrelevant with what I have done
What have I done

Etched in skin like scars I'm left with
Swept beneath my sin
(Just to keep the surface from caving in)
Chased by the end of a book not written
Yet somehow I'm condemned
(Defeat the fire or be the fire within)

Take, (TAKE)
Or be the one who gave in
Break, (BREAK)
Or be the one who lives
Wait, (WAIT)
And leave the world as broken
To justify the end

You're free to give in but
Damned if you dare to
Taught to forgive while the hate lies within you
Feel trapped in your skin
You can't comprehend
He who preaches through silence
Denies us our privilege

Caged in glass, my chaos trapped
And wrapped inside my skin
Paint my past with cold dead hands
Convince me who I am

Take, (TAKE)
Or be the one who gave in
Break, (BREAK)
Or be the one who lives
Wait, (WAIT)
And leave the world as broken
To justify the end

You're free to give in but
Damned if you dare to
Taught to forgive as the hate lies within you
Feel trapped in your skin
You can't comprehend
He who preaches through silence
Denies us our privilege

Right to defend
Our doubts in regard to
Who we should be
When the answers involves you
The beat in my chest is
The absence I've turned to
Losing is closure if I'm who designed you
