And in the coming days I know my sight will pierce this haze
and then my eyes will see that you were always meant for me
I've screamed and screamed I've screamed I know.
I've screamed and let my rage just flow.
Like blood and salty tears, like holy wars for years and years
I’ve lived this way, seems endlessly, that something's tried controlling me.
It fuels me up and tries to steal, have I succumbed to this not to feel?
Defend Ignorance
Destroy the evidence
Ignore the precedence
Resist the urge to fight back.
(It fuels me up and tries to steal, have I succumbed to this not to feel?)
And still I’m reassured these trusted voices must be heard.
And like a siren’s song without intent has steered me wrong.
I’ve screamed and screamed I've screamed with cause.
I've screamed but taken little pause
To consider what is best, or which of us this is to test. You've but to live and to learn. Unconcerned your main concern.
Time will tell, the hands move on. I pray that I've not trodden on.
Defend Ignorance
Destroy the evidence
Ignore the precedence
resist the urge to fight back.
(Time will tell, the hands move on. I pray that I've not trodden on.)
Desperately, tried not to, no avail. I’ve woven you.
This shroud of dark to wear within. Burdened you, my greatest sin.
Yes, I can hear the call.
Need no one’s sympathy, to comfort or make mockery.
I’ve taken on my greatest fear
To prove to you I shall not veer.
Yes, I can hear the call
I’ve become skeletal.
And so, this fear you see is of you looking down on me.
Know this I could not bear; I’d tear my eyes out this I swear.
I scream and scream I scream inside.
I scream I feel as though I've lied.
To you so much regret. It fills my heart I owe this debt. I can't repay I never could. I hope Someday its understood.
I see one path and actualize I stand and I apologize.
I apologize!
Defend Ignorance
Destroy the evidence
Ignore the precedence
resist the urge to fight back.
(I see one path and actualize I stand and I apologize.)
