Exiting the Fall — The Great Lie lyrics

Lyrics

Oh God, how shattered we’ve become!
A plague of children who break their already broken bones
We think that darkness is the only thing guiding our souls
We fight for things that human hands were never meant to obtain
Where is the shame in giving up what isn’t yours to claim?
God save me from what’s constraining me
I can feel the grasp of thorns as I try to escape
From the rose this world promised me
We regret our mistakes
But emotions make irrationality rational
Pull the knife in deeper
Pull the knife in deeper, oh
Where the hooks begin, the lies sink in
Where the hooks begin, the lies sink in
Where the hooks begin, the lies sink in
Moderation lights the match
Where fire is known to burn through the skin
Through the skin, oh
Don’t light the match
If you’re not willing to burn
Willing to burn
We all have reason to stay where we are
Immobilized by fear, constrained by thorns
But no more, no more
We all have reason to stay where we are
Immobilized by fear, constrained by thorns
But no more, but no more, but no more
