For forever living in
|
For forever dying in
|
The shadow of a killing cross
|
Born and held accountable
|
Sworn to bear the burden, now
|
For sinful nails
|
Driven deep
|
|
But I can't be responsible
|
For having done the unthinkable
|
And won't...
|
No, I won't play that role
|
|
For forever living in
|
For forever dying in
|
The ashes of a smoldering cross
|
Born and held accountable
|
Sworn to bear the burden, now
|
For shameful hands
|
Which held the flame
|
|
But I can't be responsible
|
For changing the unchangeable
|
And won't...
|
Don't, to ourselves, we owe release?
|
|
With rusted chains
|
We incarcerate and cage ourselves
|
Cease
|
We patronize and crucify
|
And kill ourselves
|
|
We seduce the past
|
And draw it close
|
And hold it tight
|
And never let it go
|
Until we hurt ourselves
|
And hate ourselves
|
And blame ourselves again
|
Again...
|
|
No, we can't be responsible
|
For bearing the unbearable
|
And won't...
|
Don't, to ourselves, we owe release?
|
|
With rusted chains
|
We incarcerate and cage ourselves
|
Cease
|
We patronize and crucify
|
And kill ourselves
|
|
We seduce the past
|
And draw it close
|
And hold it tight
|
And never let it go
|
Until we hurt ourselves
|
And hate ourselves
|
And blame ourselves again
|
Again...
