Songtext
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 (tryna find the progress in all 'bout us)
Paint my past with cold dead hands
Convince me who I am (tryna find a reason to break my heart)
Take (take), or be the one who gave in
Break (break), orr 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
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
