I am the guardian angel to these demons within The cells of my flesh contain the code of generations untold The soul reaches out, writhing on the stake of earthly sin Hoping for transcendence The answers to unfold Hide away Inside yourself forever All that you touch may cause you harm Hide away No, don't look back never ever You, yourself in the charm The dark waters of your subconscious must be guarded well Your own feelings are deceitful No one is safe from this inner hell Wounded hearts in need of faith Sweet water to a parched throat Religious schizophrenia The old you becomes the scapegoat Hide away Inside yourself forever Give up the control Give up the blame Hide away No, don't look back never ever You never owned your flesh, only your name You're trying to nail yourself down It won't stay down You're trying to nail yourself down I won't stay down You're trying to nail yourself down It won't stay down You're trying to nail yourself down They won't stay down All your prayers they're just words thrown to the wind Muddled and rearranged Devoid of sense There's no way to tell who or what they might bring I'm the only hope Your last defense Your last defense Know the price of unleashed empathy To much of it will get you killed Recognize yourself a tiny world among the others Balance defined but never fulfilled I feel for you
