Life is getting smaller, caging my resolve
It suffocates, alleviates the pain I feel inside
Numbness calls again, a cry to devolve
To shed this misery, this misbegotten pride.
What I once had felt within became the spokesman of my vim,
Tearing new seams in the cloth, drenched in the trough

All the love inside my heart just tore it up into these parts,
A puzzle for whoever next should take upon this harp
I should only ask one thing, to be rid of this bittered ring
And take from me my crown, that I might never be a king.

So, breaking the stream
Of this flood from my soul
Taking my dream
Making it the final toll

There are no screams among the silent
Devotion to a coronet that died undefiant.

All the hate inside my heart just hastened my departure,
No loves or sorrows spoken of, just a broken archer;
Because I can't go on for much longer

So, breaking the stream
Of this flood from my soul
Break the stream of blood from these holes,
You see my scars, carven by your goals
Leave me to this hurt, leave me to this pain,
I can live alone without you,
And by that I swear I shall have no shame.

I have nothing more to say
To your wretched face, for it's not yours
I won't stand here while you
Curse my name

So when this river is broken,
The lines upon my face will heal,
Nothing more unspoken,
To the truth I will appeal -
Let this light shine on our faces, let us once shed our graces,
All the hurt we feel inside won't clear these empty spaces
My life won't be held in abeyance, now it's time to take a chance
I'm leaving you for the road, taking the path that you forebode.
