I'm lying in the pieces
I wanna build a reason for the pain
Until it's over
If I could start the bleeding
This time, could there be meaning to the rain?
I'll be your soldier
The battlefield is in my mind
I can see you
You're gonna hate the things you find
They're beneath you
Violence is my only crown
All I'll do is bring you down
So I took up that dagger in my hand
Protest of a desperate soul
I cut my paper skin as deep as bone but
Couldn't pierce the bone to the marrow
The marrow
You've always loved a sad song
There's nothing wrong with living in what's real
Is something realer?
When trauma turns to torture
Don't wear that badge of honor like you'll heal
Fearful feeler
This cross you hang yourself upon
It's not the loss that leads to gain
The sadness never resurrects
The rawness never kills the shame
So let me take that dagger from your hand
Cast it where we'll never go
You pride yourself on how you bleed out slow but
What will cut as far as the marrow?
The marrow
Give an answer, hold me in silence
Tell me I'm something more than the violence
Cure the cancer, faith to my doubting
Love like a fire and silence the shouting
Word of Heaven, joint be divided
Brothers in arms, I'll be by His side with
This my leaven:
Made death my own
Remind me whose I am 'til I come home
Come home
