lyrics

Another tortured soul
Misguided from the start
With all the lies that he was fed
He still took every word to heart
And slowly lost control,
Put on someone else's voice
But now it doesn't matter
If he ever had a choice

Because, regardless of what path he might have tread,
The truth is, we can never raise the dead
For every soul we hope to save
We dig a thousand nameless graves
I think it's better that we start from there instead

It happens everywhere
It's a tale as old as time
You've known him all your life
He's every friend I've left behind
He soaks up all the air
But his time will come to pass
Because for all he claims to know
There's still so much he'll never grasp

And, in spite of what he wants you to believe,
If truth be told, his heart is on his sleeve
If we're to throw him off his course,
His flame is weakest at its source
I want the light behind his eyes to fucking leave

Cast from the wreckage and back into clay
Returned to the dust, and there he shall stay
Our world has been littered with rot and decay
Wash it away, oh, wash it away
