If he gives they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace
He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away
Rip them out, take them,
Burn to coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, See him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning over and out now,
He flails
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see,
See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time
Climb down to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away yeah,
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me,
Decisions been made obvious so I will return
Where I started I'll stay here
Unfinished
I'll wither away
Rip them out, take them,
Burn to coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, See him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
