He bends and he breaks If you give, they will take away
His passion, his pain, his praise
He exhales A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away
Rip them up, take them, burn the coals as they crash
And leave nothing that resembles a soul
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Rip them up, take them, burn the coals as they crash
And leave nothing that resembles a soul
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Drift the fire inside, one too many times
He's burning over and now, now he falls
Up against the raging tide
No more sight, everything you ever wanted to see
I see it in his eyes, one more time
I can't digest the waters, my hands feel like they're rusting away
But the air, the air, the air
So I pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as they let me
Divisions been made, I bleed
The world will return where I started
I'll stay here, one finish for when they're away
Rip them up, take them, burn the coals as they crash
And leave nothing that resembles a soul
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them up, take them, burn the coals as they crash
And leave nothing that resembles a soul
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
