Forgiving The Sickness

You couldn't brace for the impact
And the fire consumed you whole
I've searched for a meaning in this chaos
But you simply lost control

Your feathers fluttered on the wings of lead
Desperate hands hanging by a broken thread

Gasping on thin air, breathing in despair

I only tried to help you when no one else was there
We looked on and watched you fall
Free fall from thin air

How can you look at me the same, when you've tarnished my name
Forgiving the sickness
Forgiving the sickness
It's breaking my conscience, so torn up and heartless
Forgiving the sickness

You couldn't brace for the impact
You couldn't brace for the impact
Shattered remains, and you embraced the pain
You couldn't brace for the impact
You'll go down in flames, Nothing will be the same

You couldn't brace for the impact
And the fire consumed you whole
I've searched for a meaning in this chaos
But you simply lost control
How can you look at me the same, when you've tarnished my name
Forgiving the sickness
Forgiving the sickness
It's breaking my conscience, so torn up and heartless
Forgiving the sickness
When the dust settles and your lungs fight to breathe
Let your clinched fist unfold
Speak the truth through your blood stained teeth

The there's only one cure for the hate
Speak love or seal your fate
There's only one cure for the hate
Speak love or seal your fate

I won't go down in flames
Bring forgiveness
Lord break these chains
I won't go down in flames
Lord break these chains
