Have you ever beat somebody down?
Have you ever brought somebody back?
Have you ever found flaws in your flawless truth?
Have you ever sought outside for blame?
Feel it burning like your heart’s under attack
Did you ever find the reason was deep in you?

Hold — don’t move — now I’ve found you
Still — stay

You know you’ve found your way
Amongst a world of flames that burn
Till they will find their darkness, sin and shame
Now I know the word regret cannot change
What’s done is done
But I know that you will find the you
You’ve longed to choose

Did you ever feel touched by his charm?
Did you ever see through to the truth?
Or have you been blinded by faithless views?
Now my fear is brought back by his voice
I hear it screaming from a place inside my head
Can you reconcile the thoughts that lay deep in you?

You gotta beat me down to savour my innocence
I refuse to be broken then thrown away
As you lay and stare blind by your blackened heart
You’re held down by fear you created

Said to you
