To Save Our Self (#47 - No Shades, Just Black)

      To Save Our Self
 (#47 - No Shades, Just Black)


Why did you ever push to see,
Just how much we would take?
You kept feeding us your bullshit,
"Don't worry, he's just a friend."
We finally reached the point,
From where there was no return.
Now you're so angry,
Because we're letting you burn.

step away, let us go
reap the seeds you sow
We Could Have Been -
What You Want Us To Be -
You Ignored "Us" -
To Feed Yourself.
You Will Never Have -
What's Really Inside Us -
We Moved On -
We Had To Save Our Self.

You're carving holes around us,
When we thought our ground was solid.
We try to turn the other cheek,
But our head just spins around.
It's OK for you to hate us,
Pain is just a point of view.
We've made a few mistakes,
And the biggest one was you

step away, let us go
reap the seeds you sow
We Could Have Been -
What You Want Us To Be -
You Ignored "Us" -
To Feed Yourself.
You Will Never Have -
What's Really Inside Us -
We Moved On -
We Had To Save Our Self.

carving holes and trenches
(carving around us)
you're tearing yourself apart
(tearing yourself)
it's slowly catching up to you
(catching up)
you've finally reached the point
(at the point)
you're only good for your holes.

"we" could never be what you needed
you pulled "us" under disaster is what you are
We Could Have Been -
What You Want Us To Be -
You Ignored "Us" -
To Feed Yourself.
You Will Never Have -
What's Really Inside Us -
We Moved On -
We Had To Save Our Self.

. . . and so we save our self. . .
