Born and raised in a holy fire I know the way to God isn't obvious to you Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I supplicate and subdivide The only way to truth is through everything you hide Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I never asked you to save me and take back my life (Take back my life) Lion of Judah fortified in Light Tell me how you will guide me now, in all my spite [Verse 2: Matthew Dommer, Matthew Dommer & Andrew Wells , Andrew Wells ] You made me from a thread (l won't bend) Pulled it end to end, watching the tension build in me When I was weak (l won't break) You built me into a better man So that I could keep your faith in me Your faith in me

A torrid space, a spoiled soul (Spoiled soul) You carved me out and left me barren For the seeds that I've sown But I've been here before Seen you in every realm You hide in the safest places you can find I climb to the peak of every shrine 'Til I find Elohim In pursuit of God, erase the image of his face Do you ever think about all the things you could become? As you've stumbled, as you've grown (You've grown) I've watchеd you sink into the depths of a diseasе that I've known Our lives still intertwined, it makes me wonder Will you ever think of me when all this is gone? Will we ever make amends with all I've done wrong? I will spend the rest of my life making up for all those times When I was cold When I was weak We're still waiting for you to come home We're still waiting for you to come home (Ooh) We're still waiting for you to come home (I'll lay me down tonight) We're still waiting for you (Forget why while we're waiting for you) Do you ever think about all the things you could become? A faith expensed, a fated tone (Fated tone) I trusted you when you said I'd never do this alone But now, I am the one you have forgotten Will you ever think of me when all this is gone? Will we ever make amends with all I’ve done wrong? I will spend the rest of my life making up for all those times When I was cold 'Til I find Elohim In pursuit of God, erase the image of his face We're still waiting We're still waiting We're still waiting We're still waiting

Burn my effigy I will always stand on my two feet and be unafraid I love the way you hate me, like lead in your lungs And vilify my every single word Do you believe everything you're told? I've got a feeling you've been selling me out I never bought it, I never wanted for you to be so cynical Your disposition is a foot in the grave We're never honest I never wanted for you to celebrate when you get led astray Talk to me discreetly, keep your secrets close There's no one left to trust out here when you need them the most Do you believe everything you're told? Oh, what a disciple I was built to walk this earth alone and learn how to forgive myself again You won't win with all your hate and all your lies It will come as no surprise when you get lost (When you get lost) Among the weak (Among the weak) When you're falling out of reach so tell me now Do you know what it is to fall and get right back up every time? Do you know how to let go? Burn my effigy I will always stand on my two feet and be unafraid I've got a feeling you've been selling me out I never bought it, I never wanted for you to be so cynical Your disposition is a foot in the grave We're never honest I never wanted for you to celebrate when you get led astray

Bring me your cold and tired (Tired) I want to bathe them in the fires of my love (Fires of my love, fires of my love) Tell me your one desire (Desire) I'll show you all the ways you're holding yourself back Holding yourself back, holding yourself back The days turn into nights Feeding all the doubt inside of me And I can hardly sleep Am I just wasting my life waiting for someone to set me free? Won't you set me free? Set me upon a pyre (A pyre) Watch it burn, extirpate all that's left of me Tell me who you admire (Admire) I'll show you all the ways you'll never measure up, never measure up The days turn into nights Feeding all the doubt inside of me And I can hardly sleep Am I just wasting my life waiting for someone to set me free? Won't you set me free? Stare into the abyss, I could not exist Substance fades away, such a slow decay Wasted all this time (Into the abyss, I could not exist) Wasted all this time (Substance fades away) When I let go of all the shame thieving me, of my solace for so long I will know to redefine what it means When I pray for you, I pray for you Empty gardens, sew my name, bury me in tantric sunlight Empty gardens, sew my name, bury me in tantric sunlight I keep on running, I keep on running out I keep on running, I keep on running away I keep on running, I keep on running out I keep on running, I keep on running away It's a light inside of a hidden place (I keep on running, I keep on running out) At an unknown time in an unkempt space (I keep on running, I keep on running away) It's a mantra shifting out of phase (I keep on running, I keep on running out) For a scar that time cannot erase (I keep on running, I keep on running away) And all along we were told that we would have to wait 'Til we belong and find another way to medicate And all along we were holding onto so much hate When I was wrong, I paid for it with every step I took to seal my fate Stare into the abyss, I could not exist Substance fades away, such a slow decay I cannot maintain the weight upon my name My sickness grows within an empty garden

Ooh Quiet, empty goodbyes, last time Too late to liberate you I'm still alive living out here in a world I built for you And all this time I thought I'd be the one to give in To give up and end the pain So tell me where are you now, my light, in the darkest of days?

I spent my whole life searching for substance Just to find an empty room in the void of endless meaning Where no faith can be assumed I spent my whole death waiting for answers Just to see the spaces filled in the sea of all my karma Where all my blood was spilled I know I'm gonna let you down Every single time I try to hide in my own lies If you can forgive me now You'll be in every breath I take if you believe that I can change (I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change) I spent my rebirth chasing the devil just to watch my cancer grow Try to snuff him out with a silence but he speaks to me so low I'll spend my last chance being the martyr of all my wasted breath If I could wake you from this coma I'd give all I have left, give all I have left I know I'm gonna let you down Every single time I try to hide in my own lies If you can forgive me now You'll be in every breath I take if you believe that I can change I'm a fire inside abandoned walls Tearaway, unafraid to risk it all I'll give you every reason to believe I am ready for so much more (More, more, more) I'm not holding on I know I'm gonna let you down Every single time I try to hide in my own lies If you can forgive me now You'll be in every breath I take if you believe that I can change

And I've lost my way trying to believe I'm okay Living with the guilt of every mistake I've made I saw you weep Gave you all my blood, watched it leave my veins Cascading crimson life (Cascading crimson life) I counted every time the light inside your eyes went dark Seeking a matriarch to redeem me Come make me into something new A depiction of broader view Come break me down And build me up like energy I gave you all my bones, watched you build a throne Only to be torn down (Only to be torn down) And I counted every lie Balanced every time I tried to bargain with my own life To believe I am worth anything Come make me into something new A depiction of broader view Come break me down And build me up like energy Why do I even try to fight? It all turns out the same Pulling punches in the rain to keep you here Do you believe me now If I bare my soul? Or will you cast me out If I lose control? And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the levers upon all the apparatus. And you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it to the people who own it, that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all What a desolate view, definition and truth Like sand through an hour glass A candle held blindly turns night into day In whispers, you'll hear them say So give me all you can give Stay standing still Life just isn't long enough to wait for you Don't make the same mistakes, a heart without a place I am my own saving grace (Wait for you) Don't make the same mistakes, my mind cannot erase I am my own saving grace

I threw my body to the sea just to feel what it's like to sink I hope you carry this and bear it on your chest You decide what you deserve In the end, it's all the same to me I persist, I've endured So take all you want from me I'm not fading out, I'm not going to change I've earned my place among the enraged So light it up (Light it up) I'll never lose my way Fight every time you feel like giving up Fight for everything you spent your whole lifе searching to find Wish resigned You nеver knew that I was by your side, willing to pay the price I'll be the one to cut the noose around your neck You imply what you observe In the end you're just an absentee I commit, I have the nerve to be who I'm made to be I'm not fading out, I'm not going to change I've earned my place among the enraged So light it up (Light it up) I'll never lose my way Fight every time you feel like giving up Fight for everything you spent your whole life searching to find Wish resigned Face to face I will not praise the throne that seeks defeat Face to face One of these days your heart will play its final beats Face to face I will not praise the throne that seeks defeat Face to face One of these days your heart will play its final beats

We enter this world inspired to create, destined to ascend. Seeking the canvas on which to cast our mark. You chose many to paint yourself upon but were betrayed within. It stole the dance from your legs, the brush from your hand. Took your voice, took your vessel. A creator, wronged but it couldn't take your light, the radiance you left in your wake. The return to creation. We are forever illuminated

Breathe in, breathe out Look how far we've come from We are vessels of the blameless light Lie down, stay still It hurts less in time When you rid yourself of who you're not Cleanse me Eviscerate my worthlessness Make amends Tell me, who do you pretend to be with all your friends? Tensions elevating into strife Consciousness competing Karma, signing circles in my mind Weighing and repleting Wake me up I am awake, I am aware of my fate Begin again Until we transcend, we'll start it all over again Slowly finding our forgiveness I hope we see this through Teach me how to love you better now because I'd love to know how I was a liar, I was a cheat But I won't let those things confine me to a Hell That's underneath my own regret I won't forget what it meant when you let me back in Another step is all I can take Will my body be enough to reach the end of this path? My mouth is dry, my fingers are weak I'm losing grip on everything I thought we were alone It's a lie, it's a lie It's a lie, it's a lie It's a lie, it's a lie

It's a mutual fear that keeps me stuck to you It's a mutual tightrope walking Fluid dance My consequence for lying and deceiving Every night I die to be reborn I'd give my life right back to God if I could save you from the way that I destroy everything beautiful to me Everything I do I do it for you I do it for you Fear will eat you alive (Eat you alive) Every lie will leave you hollow from the inside out When you're ready to die (Ready to die) Realize that all your sin becomes a tidal wave Bow to the truth, who you try to fool? Contorting (Titillating) Decapitating (To gain the speed) Road just for horses to feel I could wean No, it's not a way to do Bow to the truth The dance of my fractals to tear up the fire No, I won't watch you take everything I've ever done And shove it in my face We've made our mistakes, learn how to live with them And move on I was a light, I was a compass Now all that's left is carrying numbness I was complete, I had a purpose when I was young I came undone Fear will eat you alive (Eat you alive) Every lie will leave you hollow from the inside out When you're ready to die (Ready to die) Realize that all your sin becomes a tidal wave Remind me of the weight I carry with me always And I made it so close to pretend that I'm not everything you wish you could be And I made it so close to pretend that I'm not everything you wish you could be

You stand on the edge of a world you knew long ago Do you even recognize your face from a fabrication? Remnants start to fade into meaningless concentrate Hollow, empty Nothing for you to save Narraka Circles are drawn from the centre Endless weight, make me believe in me again Follow my ghost to the gates I'll spare no expense in obtaining what I still need Bring me closer to another dream where I can finally sleep Not one more excuse, I've been through this hell once before I will never let it consume me Narraka Circles are drawn from the centre Endless weight, make me believe in me again Follow my ghost to the gates Om Ah Hum Have I been lost leaving my pain with the one I need? I don't deserve you Let me set you free I know you needed so much more After all this time away and everything we've been through I know you're starting to believe the ends justify the means I have seen what will be, I have seen what will be
