To Those Left Behind

Where is the life within us? Buried inside Where is the light that blinds us? Buried alive not ready to die Go You found me at my worst When I was far too weak to grow Speaking all your shallow words And always casting the first stone In spite of all my fears And how I may have lost my way Only now I know the truth You tried to suffocate me Suffocate me Look at what we've become Suffocate me Buried alive not ready to die Awake and coming clean If you can't sleep It's your conscience That's eating away At the mess you made So let's end this Sew this last stitch Lift this weight off my chest I'll put you to rest The past should stay dead How did we find ourselves here? Haunted by our own design With everything that's come to pass Makes it harder to confine Reach up with open hands Nobody left to pull me through And if I lose my grief Still better off without you If you can't sleep It's your conscience That's eating away At the mess you made So let's end this Sew this last stitch Lift this weight off my chest I'll put you to rest If you can't sleep It's your conscience That's eating away At the mess you made The past should stay dead You're like a cancer living inside of me I feel the pressure it's getting harder to breathe You're like a cancer living inside of me I feel the pressure it's getting harder to breathe You're like a cancer living inside of me If you can't sleep It's your conscience You're like a cancer living inside of me So let's end this Sew this last stitch You're like a cancer living inside of me The past should stay dead --- To Those Left Behind - blessthefall
