Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To rise
To fall
To hurt
To hate
[Verse 2]
To want
To wait
To heal
To save
[Verse 3]
Can't hear it, we fear it
Awareness won't come near it
Distractive, reactive
Disguised in spite of time
[Verse 4]
I never bared my emotion
My passion always strong
I never lost my devotion
But somewhere, fate went wrong
[Verse 5]
Can't let them rape me again
Your venom's not family here
Won't let them fill me with
Fatalistic remedies
[Verse 6]
What if the rest of the world
Was hopelessly blinded by fear?
Where would my sanctity live?
Suddenly nobody cares
[Verse 7]
It's never enough, you're wasting your time
Isn't there something I could say?
You don't understand, you're closing me out
How can we live our lives this way?
[Verse 8]
You tell me I'm wrong, I'm risking my life
Still, I have nothing in return
I show you my hands, you don't see the scars
Maybe you'll leave me here to burn
[Verse 9]
What if the rest of the world
Was hopelessly drowning in vain?
Where would our self pity run?
Suddenly everyone cares
[Verse 10]
Blood, heal me, fear, change me
Belief will always save me
Blood swearing, fear staring
Conviction made aware
[Verse 11]
Give up on misery
Turn your back on dissent
Leave their distrust behind
Wash your hands of regret
[Verse 12]
Do you feel you don't know me anymore?
And do you feel, I'm afraid of your love?
And how come you don't want me asking?
And how come my heart's not invited?
You say you want everyone happy
Well, we're not laughing
[Verse 13]
And how come you don't understand me?
And how come I don't understand you?
Thirty years say we're in this together
So open your eyes
[Verse 14]
People in prayer for me, everyone there for me
Sometimes, I feel I should face this alone
My soul exposed
It calms me to know that I won't
[Verse 15]
Blood, heal me, fear, change me
Belief will always save me
Blood swearing, fear staring
Conviction made aware
[Verse 16]
Give up on misery
Turn your back on dissent
Leave their distrust behind
Wash your hands of regret
[Verse 17]
Blood, heal me, fear, change me
Belief will always save me
Blood swearing, fear staring
Conviction made aware
[Verse 18]
Learning from misery
Staring back at dissent
Leaving distrust behind
I'm inspired and content
