lyrics

Why don't you ask me a question
Just tell me what you need
Cuz' there's a bold interception
Every time I try to speak
Oh, can you carry off these burdens
Right the wrongs of me
The consequence of failure
Is easier, you see
When you take it all
Just take it all

You know a choice is a golden refuge
That shelters as it speaks
A language of conviction
That conquers apathy
So when your mind aches with staggered virtue
You'll find the agency
To divide doubt, mend the facets of you
And scribe your masterpiece

Erase it all and build yourself again
Until your woes submit and the soul commits
To take it all
Defy the lies we've kept
Put our hearts to rest
And the soul will take us home

I'm sick of waiting for an answer
To a question I won't ask
These idle hands surrender
The fate of nulling this collapse
But these bones are ever-restless
For an inkling of a change
So I'll find it now, I'll scream it out
This iron will cannot be swayed
I'll take it all
I'll take it all

Erase it all and build yourself again
Until your woes submit and the soul commits
To take it all
Defy the lies we've kept
Put our hearts to rest
And the soul will take us home
Erase it all and build yourself again
Until your woes submit and the soul commits
To take it all
Defy the lies we've kept
Put our hearts to rest
And the soul will take us home
