lyrics

Verse 1

Play by the rules, stay in the lines
Savor the taste while I waste all your time
Foiled and fooled by everything that I could never carry home
Lipstick on a corpse, you’re the heir to my throne
And I can’t explain what’s going on inside
Searching for some peace of mind, settle for a piece of you

Chorus 1

But I see you leading me into light
I knew the flesh and the bone would not suffice
I’m crawling my way back, cadence like a heart attack
Buried and born again

Verse 2

Safe in the cage, I’ll cradle my pain
Soil and seed lie in wait for the rain
Faith in the fire, embracing every breath until they all escape
I whispered a verse while you were cursing my name
And I can’t explain what’s going on inside
Searching for some peace of mind, settle for a piece of you

Chorus 2

But I see you leading me into light
I knew the flesh and the bone would not suffice
I’m crawling my way back, cadence like a heart attack
Buried and born again
