you left me holding this uncompromising regret no longer ridiculed i stand before you a mess now listen now listen ive beaten all the memories out but this cant be forgiven its all i have to dream about this prison i ve been in i ve seen the writing on the walls and i ve given and given and spilled my blood until i fall but what s given what s given but empty hopeless fading dreams that i m livin i m livin it s time to wake you from your dream now you feel everything ive held inside me just for you and this burning embers sing to the flames engulfing all of you and i ve risen i ve risen i ve risen i ve risen i ve risen from the earth to ignite and recite these words to make this right
