The Great Lie

Oh God how shattered we've become

A plague of children who break their already broken bones

We think that darkness is the only think guiding our souls

We fight for things that human hands were never meant to obtain

Where is the shame in giving up what isn't yours to claim

God save me

From what's constraining me

I can feel the grasp of thorns as I try to escape from the rose this world promised me

We regret our mistakes but emotions make irrationality rational

Pull the knife in deeper

Pull the knife in deeper

OH

Where the hooks begin the lies sink in x3

Moderation lights the match where fire is known to burn through the skin

Don't light the match if you're not willing to burn

WILLING TO BURN

We all have reason

Stay where we are:

Immobilized by fear constrained by thorns

But no more;

No more
