[Intro]
Every fear is manifesting
A coward stands before me
Transparent, I feel there's nothing I can do
I can't stand idly by
There are no whites in his eyes
Only in a child's fist as a tear falls from the sky
These embers turn to ashes, these ashes turn to dust
These ashes turn to dust

[Verse 1]
What would you want me to do?
What would you want me to do?
I am the man now, we are family through and through
You'll never understand that the bottle's taken over you
Take another sip, take another sip
When you're feeling down I hope you drown in it
Take another sip, take another sip
I hope you fucking drown in it

[Bridge]
And now a boy cries out
Cries for his brother's hand
Together they have the strength of a thousand men
Get the fuck up
Show me what the fuck your new hope
[Chorus]
My body is still
My eyes are closed
My bones are heavy
My senses go numb
A soul deprived of the chance to live
Haunting memories, suppressed and dismissed

[Verse 2]
Under watching eye, her wings were stripped as you stood by
When the Almighty won't make a stand
I'll take things into my own hands

[Breakdown]
When the Almighty won't make a stand
I'll take things into my own hands
The door bursts open splintering into wooden bits
Revealing his hands held tight around her wrists

[Verse 3]
Time stands still for now everything has slowed down
It's not what I call love
We have no common ground
This is a vicious cycle no one should live inside of
No one should live inside of
It's not what I call love
Swinging blindly in the dark
A son's promise unspoken
The dastard flees the scene bleeding, beaten, bruised, and broken
Bleeding, beaten, bruised, and broken
Bleeding, beaten, bruised, and broken
[Chorus]
My body is still
My eyes are closed
My bones are heavy
My senses go numb
A soul deprived of the chance to live
Haunting memories, suppressed and dismissed
