lyrics

I have spent enough of my life living in enmity
This spiral of rage hauling my soul to the black
I carry this load on my shoulders
It's crushing me
Spare me the anguish
Spare me the agony
Rise from the flames
Deliver me from the smolder
Free from the pain
Carry my soul back to the light

The chains that I wore
I had locked in my own wrists
A product of my own delusion
My perception of happiness
Branded by selfishness
Strengthening the bars on my self-loathing cage
"They don't care" I lied to myself
"Worse for wear" was the title I claimed
How can I be rid of this affliction of hatred I've created?

Deliver me from my own warfare
Shield me from this self-inflicted rage

All I have made
Comes to an end
As I purge this filth from my veins
Tear down this wall
Destroy it all
Father save me from my dismay

Rise from the flames
Deliver me from the smolder
Free from the pain
Carry me heart back to the light

Deliver me from my own warfare
Shield me from this self inflicted rage
No amount of war, blood, or tears
Will ever bring me to hate
Ever again

"Worse for wear" never again
I will die for love before living in hate
