Promised forever that would never come It was a lesson that I wished I’d never had to learn If I could start again I’d grow up broken and the fix was in Like tiny weapons those promises were poisonous Wish I could start again But you become the safest place I could hide my words in And I would understand you Because you were perfect front to back and I would fly my red flags And you would understand them
I’ve carried it all, all of this way I’m letting it go and I beg you to stay I’ve carried it all, if you walk away No cushion to stall my plummeting from your grace My plummeting from your grace
But I’ve carried it all this way I’ve carried it all this way I’ve carried it all this way (You can only see the things I want you to see, I want) I’ve carried it all this way (You only see what I want you to see, I want) I’ve carried it all this way
I’ve carried it all, all of this way The useless emotion is the deadliest weight I’ve carried it all I’ve never complained Afraid to admit the enemy lives in me
Keep it cool now buddy, you’ll be ok This is the end of suffering Keep it cool now buddy, make no mistake Your assassin’s on the way Cool now buddy, you’ll be ok This is the end of suffering Keep it cool now buddy, make no mistake Your assassin’s on the way
I’ve carried it all, all of this way Last breath of emotion as it’s drowning in pain I’ve carried it all, the deadliest weight Becomes an assassin with a hit out on me I’ve carried it all, a lifetime of pain I’ve gotta let go because it’s killing me… go
Words are bullets from a liars face, little tiny weapons And I’m at war with the suffering, my assassin’s coming It’s hard to find the enemy with tiny weapons underneath Assassin’s face looks just like me… am I home? It’s hard to find the enemy with tiny weapons under me The assassin’s face looks just like me… am I home?
I’ve got a liar in me and that liar is armed to the teeth I wished that I’d learn but I’ll never learn I’ve got a liar in me and that liar’s controlling the wheel I wish that he’d turn but he’ll never turn
He’s setting the fires for me to put out He’s dark and he craves and he’s foaming at the mouth He’s on his way out He’s kicking and screaming and bleeds from the mouth Choking on everything falling apart He’s on his way… on his way out
I’m letting it go, it pours out of me It slashes and burns as I just try to breathe It’s letting me go, it burns and it bleeds but I’m holding the strength The strength that you gave me
I’ve carried it all this way I’ve carried it all this way I’ve carried it all this way I’ve carried it all this way
But I gotta know, at the end of this road Passed the disasters and all of the holes I gotta know when the torture is through That this bridge that I’m building’s a bridge back to you I gotta know, at the end of this road Passed the disasters and all of the holes I gotta know when the torture is through This bridge that I’ll build is a bridge back to you
