lyrics

[Assuage the Pain]

Cowering, your luck seems to have run out
And I am all there is now
But standing here I feel
The same emptiness

Dying, this can't be what I deserve
No signal in any nerve
But this bloodshed will decide
Have I assuaged the pain?

I look in my heart
And every little part
Of my mind, asking
"God please, have I gone insane?"

Unwilling, pulled to a deeper place
A fearful stare I can't erase
As disgust washes over me
I will assuage the pain

I look in my heart
And every little part
Of my mind, asking
"God please, have I gone insane?"

Wash the blood off my hands
Nothing's really clear
Wash the blood off my hands
Something's missing here

Deceiving, all the promises I made
And myself I've not obeyed
I'll never really know
Can I assuage the pain?

I look in my heart
And every little part
Of my mind, asking
"God please, have I gone insane?"

Wash the blood off my hands
Nothing's really clear
Wash the blood off my hands
Something's missing here

I look in my heart
And every little part
Of my mind, asking
"God please, have I gone insane?"

[Take It Back]

Love turns to hate
All too soon
It's too late
Can't go back
Beaten track
Tears can't flow
Creeping cold
It won't show
I must

Hold on to
What's left of you
In the rain

All that I held
Disappeared
Left with shame

Take it back
Oh, I'll take it back
Take it back
Take it back

In faint glow
This thing will grow
Within me

Somehow there
A place where I care
Out at sea

Peace inside
Not where I hide
In the trees

Dust starts forming
This was the warning
I never thought I'd see

Take it back
Oh, I'll take it back
Take it back
Take it back

It seems that I
Was the one
Hurt the most
After all
Took that fall
Winter soul
Won't be sold
But it can be redeemed

(Help me find my way)
(Help me find my way)
(Help me find my way)

Take it back
Oh, I'll take it back
Take it back
Take it back
