Stand-Alone Complex

Was I damned from the start

Or just when their marriage fell apart?

Come back in time

Take Hell’s flames out of my eyes

I’m setting fire to everyone and everything

It burns beneath my skin

Sending smoke signals to Heaven

For Him to save me

It would stain Heaven’s gates

The pearls will never be replaced

They serve as a reminder

His children still suffer

Come on

Does my “try” make God blush?

Does my heart still decay?

Does it still rust?

Cause I feel that all my gears are starting to dry

It’s beginning to be too much for me

Oh,life, how could you be so cruel to me?

Cut me some slack

And I’ll pick up everything I lack

If you’d grant me this strength then

I’ll return it to you by a thousand fold

Dear brother, though our mothers are not one

We share a father

He never wished the weight you spit to be collared on your own

You cast your fault, project the loss

But reflections must mirror the victor your heart longs to honor

The fact remains that His flawlessness waits to except only utter surrender

And he’s extending his arms

Mom come home when you can

I swear Dad has changed he’s still a good man

If I’m wrong I’ll hold my head high

I’ll let God

Spit in my face

I know you would still grab the flame

If I burn

I know you’d still grab the flame
