lyrics
Come out from inside this blinding spell
We’ll show you just how far you fell
From the truth
We, the stubborn few who see through your shell
Still know who you are far too well
And so should you
(If you’ll) quit trying so hard to be some kind of hero
You might just learn how to save yourself
From you
You’ve trained to hide what you can’t sustain
Painting pride onto your own face
You’ve squandered love to keep your heart safe
You’ve wandered too far out of range
Your heart is caving in under its weight
Don’t strain your eyes if you cannot see
Where you’ve been and where you’re going to be
What isn’t now isn’t real
Just don’t forget your lucky stars
When you forgive these ugly scars
I swear they’re going to heal
So you won’t have to abandon your heavy heart
If you are brave enough to fall apart
You can rebuild
You struggle hard to arrange your fate
A brand new start or a change of pace
But you’ve yet to master the art of change
You hold steadfast
But your heart is caving in
Under the pressure of its own weight
All these albino lies with blood-red eyes
They’ve never seen their own faces in the mirror
But if they tried, they would surely find
Proof of a stalemate with their interiors
Take a look at yourself - Start from the inside out
You’ve been trying too hard
Just look inside yourself - You’re finding out
You were caging your own heart
If you never master the art of change
Your life will pass in the heart of change
Your heart is caving in
Under the pressure of it’s own weight
So let it change
We’ll show you just how far you fell
From the truth
We, the stubborn few who see through your shell
Still know who you are far too well
And so should you
(If you’ll) quit trying so hard to be some kind of hero
You might just learn how to save yourself
From you
You’ve trained to hide what you can’t sustain
Painting pride onto your own face
You’ve squandered love to keep your heart safe
You’ve wandered too far out of range
Your heart is caving in under its weight
Don’t strain your eyes if you cannot see
Where you’ve been and where you’re going to be
What isn’t now isn’t real
Just don’t forget your lucky stars
When you forgive these ugly scars
I swear they’re going to heal
So you won’t have to abandon your heavy heart
If you are brave enough to fall apart
You can rebuild
You struggle hard to arrange your fate
A brand new start or a change of pace
But you’ve yet to master the art of change
You hold steadfast
But your heart is caving in
Under the pressure of its own weight
All these albino lies with blood-red eyes
They’ve never seen their own faces in the mirror
But if they tried, they would surely find
Proof of a stalemate with their interiors
Take a look at yourself - Start from the inside out
You’ve been trying too hard
Just look inside yourself - You’re finding out
You were caging your own heart
If you never master the art of change
Your life will pass in the heart of change
Your heart is caving in
Under the pressure of it’s own weight
So let it change
