To Rise, To Fall.
 To Hurt, To Hate.
 To Want, To Wait.
 To Heal, To Save.

 Can't hear it
 we fear it
 awareness [bad word] near it

 Distractive
 Reactive
 Disguised in spite of time

 I never bared my emotion
 My passion always strong
 I never lost my devotion
 but somewhere fate went wrong

 Can't let them rape me again
 Your venom's not family here
 won't let them fill me with
 fatalistic remedies

 What if the rest of the world
 was hopelessly blinded by fear?
 Where would my sanctity live?
 Suddenly nobody cares.

 It's never enough
 You're wasting your time
 Isn't there something I could say?
 You don't understand
 You're closing me out
 How can we live our lives this way?

 You tell me I'm wrong
 I'm risking my life
 Still, I have nothing in return
 I show you my hands
 You don't see the scars
 Maybe you'll leave me here to burn.

 What if the rest of the world
 was hopelessly drowning in vain?
 Where would our self [bad word] 
 Suddenly everyone cares.

 Blood...Heal me
 Fear...Change me
 Belief will always save me
 Blood...Swearing
 Fear...Staring
 Conviction made aware

 Give up on misery
 Turn your back on dissent
 Leave their [bad word] behind
 Wash your hands of regret

 Do you feel you don't know me anymore?
 And do you feel I'm afraid of your love?
 And [bad word] you don't want me asking?
 And [bad word] my heart's not invited?
 You say you want everyone happy
 Well, we're not laughing.

 And [bad word] you don't understand me?
 And [bad word] I don't understand you?
 Thirty years say we're in this together
 So open your eyes.

 People in prayer for me
 everyone there for me
 Sometimes I feel I should face this alone
 My soul exposed
 It calms me to know that I won't

 Blood...Heal me
 Fear...Change me
 Belief will always save me
 Blood...Swearing
 Fear...Staring
 Conviction made aware

 Give up on misery
 Turn your back on dissent
 Leave their [bad word] behind
 Wash your hands of regret

 Blood...Heal me
 Fear...Change me
 Belief will always save me
 Blood...Swearing
 Fear...Staring
 Conviction made aware

 Learning from misery
 Staring back at dissent
 Leaving [bad word] behind
 I'm inspired and content
