HELL WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY

I can't keep holding my head high Can't pay my sins or my crimes Born from the depths of my own mind Crawling out no wasted time Nowhere to hide Nowhere to run Expose my body to the sun The gentle burn consumes me whole To disappear when the wind blows Raise hell even higher So I can't reach the bottom Sink the heavens closer So it can't be thought of (Can't save us) Higher and higher we go Breaking out of my skin Lower to my inner core My own mortal sin (Can't save us) Now Counting hours since the time that I've been awake Passing boredom from the fear my tears an empty lake Drowning from the silence, heard the prayers, calm the sheep The fence gate is open yet I choose to leap I resent the monster hiding in my head Night awakes the nocturnal primal existence Bursting from the seams I call my skin my enemies Freedom fears as my phobias, the phantom feasts Raise hell even higher So I can't reach the bottom Sink the heavens closer So it can't be thought of (Can't save us) Higher and higher we go Breaking out of my skin Lower to my inner core My own mortal sin (Can't save us) Now I can't be the only one who sees this I can't be the only one who's helpless My life slips past these fingers Morrow morn this sadness lingers Nowhere to hide Nowhere to run Exposed my body to the sun The gentle burn consumes me whole To disappear when the wind blows
