Lyrics

Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing an elitism that poisons you
Thinking you know what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out
And silence you
But I'm a waste in your eyes
You say you don't need me to save you tonight
But I need to save you tonight
I'm standing alone on the brink of a storm
Trying to humanize the enemy inside of you
We're cut from the same cloth, but we are
Stained with the poison of pride
We're sucking the life from the whole of the world
We can't be confined or condemned to be
Reduced to a place to survive and resolve
In the end they'll try
And silence you
'Cause you're a waste in their eyes
The grace they describe
Won't save you tonight
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing an elitism that poisons you
We won't ever feel alone anymore
Or let pride come before a fall
I wish you could see me for something more
Than the things I'm confined and condemned to be
They will know our names and we won't be ignored
So that we may see some light
So let them silence you
'Cause you're a waste in their eyes
There's a grace inside of you
I need tonight
