Whitewashed Tomb

Your illusion of kindness

The delusion that you've healed to move on

Virtue signaling your reasons

But avoidance is a symptom of the unresolved

Unresolved

Are you even aware of what is truly at play?

Are you even aware?

Are you able to see?

Are you able to see

The parts of you that wither away?

Can't you see, you're hiding from somethin'?

Avoiding the hurt

Avoiding the darkness of your heart

The story within is forgery

That does not match what those close to you see

But the story on the outside

Is painted elegantly so that you can hide

You're a whitewashed tomb

Yeah, a whitewashed tomb

I'd never want to be like you

Can't you see, you're hidin' from somethin'?

Avoiding the hurt

Avoiding the darkness of your heart

Silently waitin' while slowly decayin'

Uphold appearance while sorrow

Sorrow awaits

Sorrow awaits

Coward

You're a whitewashed tomb

Coward

I'd never want to be like you

Redemption will never look the way you want it to

And we will never be good enough to see your truth

But how could vibrant life fit within your view?

Encased in fool's gold but full of doom

I know who sits behind the curtain now

Whoa-oh-oh

My mirror image

Whoa-oh-oh

Can't you see, you're hidin' from somethin'?

Avoiding the hurt

Avoidin' the darkness, the darkness of your heart

Whoa-oh-oh

Darkness of your heart

Whoa-oh-oh

Sorrow awaits

Whoa-oh-oh

A whitewashed tomb

Whoa-oh-oh
