Remnants of the Heart Lyrics

Heart to heart, would I lie?

Lies
Everywhere
For me it's like air
It's what I need
To stay alive
For breathing the truth
would surely kill me

As I cower in my cage
All self made with love
From spite and deceit

And from my tower so low I judge
my protective construct
from truth that are not to be told

After wandering trapped and lost in the dark
I open my mind and welcome the grace
I open my soul and let in the light
I disown the burden, I disown my will to die,
confused by this sudden change of heart
The salvation is salve to my wounds
but I'm afraid of what I left in the dark
the remnants of the heart

Beating in me,
instead of blood
it pushes filth
coursing through me

Oh the poisonous thoughts
won't leave me alone
Is there time left for
healing before I am gone?

Turned away as you were screaming my name
I closed my eyes as you were screaming in pain
I crossed my hands, refused to aid
Of your fate,
the memories are haunting me
In the house that is burned to the ground
I am watching and waiting for the time

After wandering trapped and lost in the dark
I open my mind and welcome the grace
I open my soul and let in the light
I disown the burden, I disown my will to die,
confused by this sudden change of heart
The salvation is salve to my wounds
but I'm afraid of what I left in the dark
the remnants of my heart
