Fallen From Grace

Anxiety embraced my days again
Trapped by your voice I've lost all my strength
So close and still so distant.

How can I live this lie for you?
Though I might have been lost for a while
I see clearer than ever now.

'Cause I'd speak but there's just nothing more to say
Words never sounded so in vain
You're chasing dreams only meant to break
Burying yesterday's mistakes.

For you it's all the same
Never known to doubt just to obey
Inside four walls - safe never mind the chains
To break free is to lose your possession
It's so much easier to live each other's delusions.

'Cause I'd speak but there's just nothing more to say
Words never sounded so in vain
You're chasing dreams only meant to break
Burying yesterday's mistakes
Delusions outdated
Failures unaided
So afraid of changes
We'll fall again.

There's no denying that your words warmed me up inside
When I lay awake at night, in the darkness that just grew far too dark
But then if you had lied that everything was all right -
I never would have thought to fear the dark.

There's just nowhere to progress from here
Your inept conviction slowly wears me away.

So lost inside the might of our horrid past oh so glorified...
Lost inside stale fables of men
Made to terrify, control and bride
Our hearts - filled with love
Hands covered in pagans' blood
Oh when'll we take the fall?
For all that's been
So we can rise with meaning newly found
Inside our own hearts.
