He bends and he breaks   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 him   Leave nothing that resembles a soul of a man   Leave him numb   Leave him crushed   Rip them out take them   Burn to coals as they crush him   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   As he flails   Up against   The raging tides   No more sides   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 their rusting away yeah   So I’ll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter   I’ll stay here as long as you'll let me   Decisions been made obvious   So I will return   Where I started I’ll stay there   Unfinished I’ll wither away
