As I Lay Dying
Gatekeeper
[Intro: Tim Lambesis]
You've lost touch
You've lost touch with the outcasts

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]
Have you forgotten your own past?
Have you forgotten that your house is made of glass?
So, while you're pointing your fingers
You are unable to use your hands
To help with solving
Solving real and present problems
'Cause we're appealing
And you've become too perfect to understand

[Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair, yeah
Trying to keep others in despair

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]
I don't want you to get dirty
Reaching down to a lowly creature
I don't want you to show mercy
And make me like you, self-righteous preacher
Did you think you were the only one
The only one who held the keys?
Did you hope that your judgment would
Spread just like a disease?
[Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]
The self-importance
Of the moral elite
To think that their approval
Means anything, yeah

[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]
So eager to capitalize
Capitalize on other people's pain
But when the healing begins
So quick to turn away
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten your own past?

[Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Keeping others in despair
