The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't turn your back, don't hide your face
I got carried away this time
These eyes have burned with lust
This heart has harbored hate
This weight is overwhelming
I'm a walking contradiction
No peace, no rest for my mind
Are you indifferent
My faith is dwindling
Are you indifferent
My faith is written in the sand
I'm scraping bottom, I can see the lanterns by my grave
Will you leave me here alone
Bleeding canvas, oh, my white walls can't breathe
My ghosts have come and passed
This awkward motion has dissolved all means
I'm cutting ties to keep from getting back
My heart breaks in this silence
Is this the moment you've been waiting for; are you watching now
All I have are hidden worries
If this is all we know, I'm better off alone
Everything comes down to nothing
Anger is wasted on this life
Show me the meaning behind your actions
Pour life back into these hands
Welcome to the dirty south
Take me
Bring me to my knees
Take me
Bring me back around
We will overcome by the blood, by the blood
We will overcome by the blood, by the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...jah
