Fallen From Grace

Anxiety embraced my days again

Trapped by your voice I've lost all my strength

So close and still so distant

How can I live this lie for you?

Though I might have been lost for a while

I see clearer than ever now

'Cause I'd speak but there's just nothing more to say

Words never sounded so in vain

You're chasing dreams only meant to break

Burying yesterday's mistakes

For you it's all the same

Never known to doubt just to obey

Inside four walls - safe never mind the chains

To break free is to lose your possesion

It's so much easier to live each other's delusions

'Cause I'd speak but there's just nothing more to say

Words never sounded so in vain

You're chasing dreams only meant to break

Burying yesterday's mistakes

Delusions outdated

Failures unaided

So afraid of changes

We'll fall again

There's no denying that your words warmed me up inside

When I lay awake at night, in the darkness that just grew far too dark

But then if you had lied that everything was all right -

I never would have thought to fear the dark

There's just nowhere to progress from here,

Your inept conviction slowly wears me away

So lost inside the might of our horrid past oh so glorified...

Lost inside stale fables of men

Made to terrify, control and bride

Our hearts - filled with love

Hands covered in pagans' blood

Oh when'll we take the fall?

For all that's been

So we can rise with meaning newly found

Inside our own hearts...
