Cold inside, and captive to your own mind
How have you sown such damaged roots?
When you had everything to lose
The words of your peers burn and sting
But do you feel the need
To redirect your course now?
You're burning up, you're broken now
If it was the truth you told, then it was a lie you whispered
Don't swear to me it's true
Oh, how I could defeat myself
For sowing by the roots you poisoned out
The blood beneath the thorn left behind
You're burning, you're broken now
Even now the heartache floods out and does its work in the field
Reaching out to the sun before it withers alone
Before it withers alone
It burns up and breaks your world
Don't swear to me it's true
Oh, how I could defeat myself
For sowing by the roots you poisoned out
The blood beneath the thorn left behind
You're burning, you're broken now
You're burning up, you're broken now
If it was the truth you told, then it was a lie you whispered
Stop cutting the blades that sharpen blood
Don't swear to me it's true
Oh, how I could defeat myself
For sowing by the roots you poisoned out
You're burning up, you're broken now
Don't swear to me it's true
Oh, how I could defeat myself
For sowing by the roots you poisoned out
The blood beneath the thorn left behind
You're burning, you're broken now
No
It burns up and breaks your world
