lyrics

We're left to find ourselves
Betrayed by light that keeps us from seeing
The wasted time spent searching for you
left me feeling blind and so uncertain

And now I'll say
never again
will I stand
at you gates

Though I've been told you'd never leave me
I'd sell my soul to shut you out
All I recall was pain and silence
I swear I'd never let you in

Limiting our lives from what could have been
Drawing senseless lines, keeping us from what we're needing
Spending countless days searching for the answers
better spent than praising a ghostly idol

And I'll still say
never again
will I give
you my praise

Though I've been told you'd never leave me
I'd sell my soul to shut you out
All I recall was pain and silence
I swear I'd never let you in

Though I've been told you'd never leave me
I sold my soul to shut you out
All that I know is pain and silence
I swore I'd never let you in
