Lyrics

Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear Sealed with lies through so many tears Lost from within, pursuing the end I fight for the chance to be lied to again You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough You were never conceived in love You will not rise above They I'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me But through my tears breaks a blinding light Birthing a dawn to this endless night Arms outstretched, awaiting me An open embrace upon a bleeding tree Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me

Bind [bind] my limbs with fear [fear] Choke me with tears [tears] I won't die for you You've [you've] been here before [before] And come back for more [more] But not this time You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough You were never conceived in love You will not rise above Somebody tell me what made us all believe you I should have known all along it was all a lie Now [now] I know the truth [truth] I'm through fearing you [you] And I am free You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough You were never conceived in love You will not rise above Somebody tell me what made us all believe you I should have known all along it was all a lie [lie] Somebody tell me what made us all believe you I should have known all along it was all a lie [lie] Somebody tell me what made us all believe you [I should have known] I should have known it was all a lie I should have known it was all a lie
