Cold inside, and captive to your own mind How have you sown such damaged roots? When you had everything to lose The words of your peers burn and sting But do you feel the need To redirect your course now? You're burning up, you're broken now If it was the truth you told, then it was a lie you whispered Don't swear to me it's true Oh, how I could defeat myself For sowing by the roots you poisoned out The blood beneath the thorn left behind You're burning, you're broken now Even now the heartache floods out and does its work in the field Reaching out to the sun before it withers alone Before it withers alone It burns up and breaks your world Don't swear to me it's true Oh, how I could defeat myself For sowing by the roots you poisoned out The blood beneath the thorn left behind You're burning, you're broken now You're burning up, you're broken now If it was the truth you told, then it was a lie you whispered Stop cutting the blades that sharpen blood Don't swear to me it's true Oh, how I could defeat myself For sowing by the roots you poisoned out You're burning up, you're broken now Don't swear to me it's true Oh, how I could defeat myself For sowing by the roots you poisoned out The blood beneath the thorn left behind You're burning, you're broken now No It burns up and breaks your world
