lyrics

My shivering hands hold broken bones that could never be repaired by men.
My chest is filled with split rips never to be mended by others' hands.
We are descendants among men.
We are descendants among men.
We are born lost, swollen, and torn.
We scream more than we breathe.
We shake more than we speak.
We're too scared to show we are weak but we're still holding the truth down deep under the cracked rips and crooked spines.
Realize you're broken.
Realize you're broken.
So take off your blinds, God is the only one who can fix our weary minds.
So will you cleanse us?
So will you fix us?
We need to say goodbye.
We must die tonight.
I must die tonight.
We die to ourselves, we die to ourselves.
We're young, we're old, we die.
We're young, we're old, we die.
In the blink of an eye, we are out of time.
You're out of time.
We are descendants among men.
We are descendants among men.
We are trapped in a haze clouded throughout our days until we gaze at the words that he has placed, that he gave humanity to bring us face to face, to bring us face to face.
God is the only one who can mend us but we are selfish and greedy.
Fix our minds.
Open up your hearts.
Open up your chest.
We all need to be put back together.
