From Ashes in Betrayal
Eyes defy the rules you assign me
Saw the beauty in a strike of lightning
I stepped in to let it reactivate a part of me that sets me free
Eye to eye when the images swallow me
Spit me out into a world of suffering
Dark and cold this is no place to call home
I alone take the blame for this
I'm an individual
Who fell with the rest
Stand up brush the dirt off my chest
Climb back up to reclaim what's left
I'm back
Nobody knows how to react
Thought the peace would last
I'm just another ghost from your past
So attack
Striking points that mean the most
Quick
Abrupt
Burned by your touch
Forget the words that I said
They don't mean nothing, when you die
Buried alive
My heart's still beating
Can you throw me a line
I've been deceived
Can you please open up inside
Am I falling out again
Cut me off from my oxygen
You cut me off from my oxygen
So when the tectonic plates shift beneath my feet, and my ground gives way
Will I be forced to sink below
Or rise above gravity
With all my brothers standing here with me
I'm not looking for sympathy
There's a lack of understanding
So you go and live your life while I give up
You've emptied mine
Buried alive
My heart's still beating
Can you throw me a line
I've been deceived
Can you please open up inside
Am I falling out again
Cut me off from my oxygen
You cut me off from my oxygen
I'm not looking for sympathy
There's a lack of understanding
Forget the words that I said
They don't mean nothing
Saw the beauty in a strike of lightning
I stepped in to let it reactivate a part of me that sets me free
Eye to eye when the images swallow me
Spit me out into a world of suffering
Dark and cold this is no place to call home
I alone take the blame for this
I'm an individual
Who fell with the rest
Stand up brush the dirt off my chest
Climb back up to reclaim what's left
I'm back
Nobody knows how to react
Thought the peace would last
I'm just another ghost from your past
So attack
Striking points that mean the most
Quick
Abrupt
Burned by your touch
Forget the words that I said
They don't mean nothing, when you die
Buried alive
My heart's still beating
Can you throw me a line
I've been deceived
Can you please open up inside
Am I falling out again
Cut me off from my oxygen
You cut me off from my oxygen
So when the tectonic plates shift beneath my feet, and my ground gives way
Will I be forced to sink below
Or rise above gravity
With all my brothers standing here with me
I'm not looking for sympathy
There's a lack of understanding
So you go and live your life while I give up
You've emptied mine
Buried alive
My heart's still beating
Can you throw me a line
I've been deceived
Can you please open up inside
Am I falling out again
Cut me off from my oxygen
You cut me off from my oxygen
I'm not looking for sympathy
There's a lack of understanding
Forget the words that I said
They don't mean nothing
