Lyrics
I thought I was the sun and all its light
Shining in the dark, your vengeance my guide
I wanted to take this world back for you
Tearing skin and voice, let the light break through
I can't see a thing
I want this more than anything
The headlights stopped my feet from moving
And my eyelids could not close or move away
From the echo of the voice that buckled both my knees
And flung me to the ground beneath the weight
The earth and road seemed like they were not there at all
But there it was and everything in place
But I was changed, I was not the same
But now I confess, here in my own flesh
Is the familiar and the intimate
Seven words, seven words have severed into me
Seven words, seven words have brought me to my knees
Count your blessings that you've never seen
The things, the simple things were ours to take
But the questions danced around our innocence
And now the innocence is nothing more than faith
Gather towards the door, your thanks too quickly now
The border gives the light away
Open your heart to the very worst part
And let them depart
I cut my teeth on the flesh of the liars
I made my words into stones and then broke all the bones
I never saw the blade that ripped up my ribcage
My eyes glazed over and the world moved on
How dare we speak of future and boast of legacy?
