Born into a frame that hates you
Wrapped in a skin of fear
Anger is my marrow
Sorrows are my tears
This is not what I was promised
I find no solace in the words of old
This is not what I was promised
I can feel my blood running cold

Bleed Through

Over and over and over again
It beats in my chest and rings in my head
Over and over and over again
Your words bleed through
I can’t think
I can’t think
I can’t speak
Over and over and over again
It beats in my chest and rings in my head
Over and over and over again
Your words bleed through
I’ve been held by the fear in my brain
The constant self doubt that you pushed in my face
Over and over and over again
It beats in my chest and rings in my head
Over and over and over...
But I won’t be the thing you tried to make me
I’ll always be your enemy

A kiss from cracked and lonely lips
Made in the image
Thrown into the deep
But I need you
And you need me too
So I’ll try
It speaks to what I’ve done
And to what I’ve become:
A thirst that’s never satisfied
I thought this was through years ago
How ignorant to hope for a change of heart
How arrogant to think that I could ever be so strong
But I need you
And you need me too
So I’ll try
It speaks to what I’ve done
And to what I’ve become:
A thirst that’s never satisfied

As Tradition

There’s a breath creation breathes
That won’t be found in my lungs
I’m gasping for it but inhaling toxins
It’s all I want
I’ve bound myself with ropes
I fashioned from the empty night
And used memories as a blindfold
To guard my soul from the Light
I’m a broken steeple
I’m a statistic
I’m the proof
I’m a flag flown half mast
Mourning the absence of the truth
My anger’s only stifled by
The fear that’s stabbing at my bones
That one day when we disappear
I’ll be right and all alone

Contrast

Where’s the peace you sing about
All I see is pain
Your desire for celebrity
outweighs the love you claim
Shy away from honesty
You’re afraid of shame
You claim to be a new man
But your actions stay the same
I don’t want your sympathy
I just want to see some change
I’m begging for transparency
But you’re worried you won’t gain
You drink the poison every day
Of salvation bought by wealth
Kneeling at the altar
You are praying to yourself
I’ll admit that I’m the same
And I don’t know how to change
I’ve been standing on broken legs
And I can’t seem to find the break
I’m staring through you
And I see myself
Through you I see myself
