[00:00.00]

[01:13.00]All the time I've lived and learned I never thought I knew
[01:20.00]What the reasons were for giving everything to you
[01:26.00]Sacred thoughts run through my head of how it's meant to be
[01:33.00]Living out this frantic lie there's so much more to dream

[01:40.00]I took the beaten path but it wasn't meant for me
[01:47.00]I won't wait for you to
[01:52.00]To set me free

[01:53.00]Freely my eyes turn to that which I lust
[01:59.00]Forever enslaved to the ones that we trust

[02:06.00]So Heaven won't you send a sign
[02:10.00]Or will you always keep me blind
[02:13.00]Eighty years is all it takes
[02:16.00]To learn from our mistakes

[02:20.00]Mistakes were made along the way but now I feel all right
[02:33.00]Leaving all my past behind has made me see the light

[02:47.00]

[03:15.00]I see all the wounds I've opened and it gives me pause
[03:21.00]Wondering why my fangs are dripping on my broken claws
[03:28.00]Rain falls down and clears away the blood that's my disguise
[03:35.00]All I ever wanted was to see me through your eyes

[03:41.00]I walked the beaten path but I couldn't see the end
[03:48.00]I kept it straight and true but you
[03:53.00]You made me bend

[03:55.00]Bend forth the truth and the kingdom will fall
[04:01.00]For pride cometh after the sins of us all

[04:08.00]But Hell it hath no fury left
[04:11.00]My scorn it waits on bated breath
[04:15.00]Someone please just tell me why
[04:17.00]I can't escape this lie

[04:21.00]Lying on this prison floor but I'm no longer dead
[04:35.00]Finding some redemption from the whispers in my head

[04:48.00]

[05:01.00]Trapped inside my mind
[05:08.00]Feeling so confined
[05:15.00]All the lives I've lost
[05:21.00]To bear the final cost

[05:28.00]Now that I've looked in your eyes
[05:31.00]And seen all that you know
[05:35.00]How could I return to life
[05:38.00]Where the pain continues to grow

[05:41.00]I've learned all that I can
[05:44.00]Out in this foreign land
[05:48.00]I've broken free from misery
[05:51.00]No longer a fractured man

[05:57.00]

[07:06.00]Every time I've loved and lost I thought it'd be my last
[07:13.00]I never thought the day would come but time just moved so fast
[07:20.00]Reconciling all my thoughts into one single mind
[07:26.00]Never knowing what I wanted or just what I'd find

[07:34.00]

[07:45.00]Whoa
[07:47.00]I found another path it was buried in my mind
[07:53.00]All of these other roads, well they
[07:58.00]They made me blind

[08:00.00]Blinded by panic and deafened by fear
[08:06.00]We live through the deaths of what once was held dear

[08:13.00]Messiah won't you just let go
[08:16.00]I've taught me everything I know
[08:20.00]Now the final test begins
[08:22.00]Where I forgive your sins

[08:28.00]

[08:52.00]And so the circle breaks to form anew
[08:59.00]To wash us clean of all life's aches and pains

[09:06.00]But that which binds us lights a new way through
[09:12.00]And breaks us free of
[09:15.00]All our mindful chains

[09:24.00]

[09:46.00]Ooh
[09:50.00]Ooh
[09:57.00]Ooh

[10:01.00]

[10:03.00]Whoa

[10:10.00]
