The World As Broken lyrics

You are the venomous

Empty brilliance

I am upset with what I've become

I am defenseless, hardly broken

I am irrelevant with what I have done

What have I done?

Etched in skin like scars I'm left with

Swept beneath my sin

Just to keep the surface from caving in

Chased by the end of a book not written

Yet somehow I'm condemned

Defeat the fire or be the fire within

Take, take

Or be the one who gave in

Break, break

Or be the one who lives

Wait, wait

And leave the world as broken

To justify the end

You're free to give in but

Damned if you dare to

Taught to forgive

While the hate lies within you

Feel trapped in your skin

You can't comprehend

He who preaches through silence

Denies us our privilege

Caged in glass

My chaos trapped

And wrapped inside my skin

Paint my past with cold dead hands

Convince me who I am

Take, take

Or be the one who gave in

Break, break

Or be the one who lives

Wait, wait

And leave the world as broken

To justify the end

You're free to give in but

Damned if you dare to

Taught to forgive

As the hate lies within you

Feel trapped in your skin

You can't comprehend

He who preaches through silence

Denies us our privilege

Right to defend

Our doubts in regard to

Who we should be

When the answers involves you

The beat in my chest is

The absence I've turned to

Losing is closure

If I'm who designed you
