BLACK IDOL - THESPIAN

LYRICS See my greatest fear Come alive and feel The eyes of those who know Pierce my fragile world Never did I think It would come to this But now that we are here Wipe my conscience clear (The righteous, they never prevail, You are what you come to obtain Renounce all the shackles and chains) Holding back all that you could be Everything you can’t bear to feel Will burdens ever cease? The paths that lead to bliss Are always behind me And the ones that are ahead Will never reach the end Holding back all that you could be Everything you can’t bear to feel All the words you called ideals And this anonymous thread With which you’re brought to knees Will one life be enough (Holding onto what you call ideals Who can see through your face?) To redeem what we lost (To think I laid beside you And knew there was nothing to know at all) Lie myself to sleep, because I know What we’d done was done to us Numb your mind, sever ties, the vessel knows no guilt Holding back all that you could be Bury deep everything that made you doubt your mind’s peace Everything you can’t bear to feel Play your part and tarnish what you’ve sworn to die for All the words you called ideals And this anonymous thread With which you’re brought to knees Even if it’s over, do we pretend it’s not? If the walls come down, will it be enough? If you throw a stone, will you be enough? If the whole world spits, will it be enough?
