lyrics

Trust
Treasure so easily broken
weight and worth intangible
Sometimes repair is not an option,
burn it down and build anew

A broken cup will never be as strong
as it once was
Reassemble all the shards
and the substance will seep through

But that's not what we came for
What's all this wasting time?
No, that's not what we stand for
So this is where we say goodbye

I'm only hoping for this
We're only coping with it
They're only losing what was
Someone stop me now!

The price they pay to fit in
we're paying taxes on sin
With all these secrets tell me
how do you know who you are?

Every time you lied to me
I would look the other way
Who am I to judge a fiend?

Every time you lied to them
another fly caught in your web
Deep inside do you know you're sick?
I know the world played a part
but you can't just blame them

Every time you lied to me
I'd just look the other way
I've got my own insecurities
and I can't save you if I can't save me

But that's not what we came for
What's all this wasting time?
No, that's not what we stand for
So this is where we say goodbye

I'm only hoping for this
We're only coping with it
They're only losing what was
Someone stop me now!

The price they pay to fit in
we're paying taxes on sin
With all these secrets tell me
how do you know who you are?

Let it burn!
Let it burn!

How could you do this?
How could you hurt someone who gave you everything?
How could you burn the trust of everyone
as if it's someone else's blame?

There are no monsters under beds
or in the closets of your home
They walk the streets
in skins and skeletons,
like people you may know.

I should have known it anyways
you can't trust anyone these days
My heart goes out to the ones so deep
they'll never get out!
These strings they are pulling you down!

I'm only hoping for this
We're only coping with it
They're only losing what was
Someone stop me now!

The price they pay to fit in
we’re paying taxes on sin
With all these secrets tell me
How do you know who you are?

This is not my problem anymore
It's not my fault if you get hurt
It’s not my problem anymore
It's not my fault if you get hurt
