lyrics

All of your hatred,
Know it’s just how you feel,
Don’t you indulge it,
Or let it believe it’s real,
Mind, crippled wallowing and blind,
Let the cutting coil unwind, unwind, rebuild,
Rise off the ugly ground

All of your courage,
Know that it fills your sails,
And the weight of your reason,
Know that it tips the scales,
Strength, you must preserve it in its length,
Nourish every ounce that’s in you, fight the darkness in your life,
until you fade to black,

Now come back from the distance you’ve made for yourself,
And bring out all the gifts that you have found,
Say goodbye to all your vices, the troubling things that keep you bound,

All of your life force,
Know that it’s all you have,
And the truth of the matter,
Is it’s not even yours,
Cold, brings you sickness when you’re old,
Ages drown you years unfold,
You’re finished breathing now,

I'll come back from the weakness I've made for myself,
And divide all the happiness I’ve been allowed,
Hear no more the vivid lies, or fear things that break me down,

I don’t want to lose you friend just keep on looking up,
Can’t do nothing for you unless you want it for yourself,
I will lift you up now if you could love you in return,
I sit and watch you struggle while your stubborn stomach burns,

Give all you can,
Survive the weather,
