| He bends and he breaks
|
| If he gives they will take away
|
| His passion, his pain, his grace
|
| He exhales
|
| A thousand black flowers explode
|
| Into butterflies as they’re away
|
| Rip them out, take them
|
| Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
|
| That resembles a soul of a man
|
| (See him numb, see him crushed)
|
| See him numb, see him crushed
|
| Rip them out, take them
|
| Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
|
| That resembles a soul of a man
|
| (Leave them numb, leave them crushed)
|
| Leave them numb, leave them crushed
|
| Took the fire inside
|
| One too many times
|
| He’s burning over and out now
|
| He flails
|
| Up against the raging tides
|
| No more fights
|
| Everything you ever wanted to see
|
| See it in his eyes
|
| One more time, one more time
|
| Climb down to test the waters
|
| My hands feel like they’re rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| So I’ll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
|
| I’ll stay here as long as you let me
|
| Decision’s been made obvious so I will return
|
| Where I started I’ll stay here
|
| When I’m finished I’ll whither away
|
| Rip them out, take them
|
| Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
|
| That resembles a soul of a man
|
| (See him numb, see him crushed)
|
| See him numb, see him crushed
|
| Rip them out, take them
|
| Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
|
| That resembles a soul of a man
|
| (Leave them numb, leave them crushed)
|
| Leave them numb, leave them crushed |
