Casualty

Coming off of words You seek Hidden in your chrysalis It's fear infused and irritant And I, I miss my home and you guard it Through teeth and bone Defending every precious key Convinced you're not the enemy Tracing shapes of red in skin You worship hate and let it in Too far isn't far away Survived the storm now castaway If I could pretend I would bend the light deciding If the piece of me that's hiding Is still aware And I'm so scared Will you plague my nights? We're fighting Through walls and across highways Will you find me, will you reach me? Given time I learned to spare the feeling Consumed but never weakened I passed that pain through seasons Will you remember why? It's consequence aligned And your privilege extends It never ends If I could pretend I would bend the light deciding If the piece of me that's hiding Is still aware And I'm so scared Will you plague my nights? We're fighting Through walls and across highways Will you find me, will you reach me? Of all the things you took from me Did your heart skip a beat? I'm way too tired to face your soul I'll live through change, take it alone Of all the things you took from me Did your heart skip a beat? I'm way too tired to face your soul I'll live through change, take it alone I'm far too tired now To put this fire out
