Burial

I'm walking on diamonds
Cut through the silence
Look past the trail I leave

A call from the sirens
To resound the vipers
That make up the worst in me

Deceived a plea:
"Show me the meaning of all I was meant to be"
I'm nailed to the coffin
Buried deep under, I can't breathe
I need a moment of clarity
When chosen to lead the weak
I found myself back and away
From the chance to be me

When blamin' the cause of my hatred
Has turned into poison
The judge has been witnessed
A harm in the tone of my voice
And I fall for the right
To be called to the stand
As a spokesman
'Cause thousands of figures stand up and chant
That I am broken

'Cause thousands of figures stand up and chant
That I am broken

I need some time more to shame my direction
Misguided by my drive for affection
For too long I've been chained to
The wreck I've caught myself and I'm aching

When I believed that I didn't need to
See myself as someone that bleeds through
Careless, manages not a place
To cover all my deepest wounds

When blamin' the cause of my hatred
Has turned into poison
The judge has been witnessed
A harm in the tone of my voice
And I fall for the right
To be called to the stand
As a spokesman
'Cause thousands of figures stand up and chant
That I am broken

'Cause thousands of figures stand up and chant
That I am broken

'Cause thousands of figures stand up and chant
That I am broken
