Rated: ASR · Lyrics · Spiritual · #1432941
Even the most diseased things can be saved, Genesis 18:27-32
Muted heartbeat
Slowing repeat
Life passing through tubes
Drugged to coma
Oblivious
What happened to you?

So many illnesses
So many causes
Not enough reasons
Too many blood losses

(chorus)
Searching through clouded mercy
Essence of unsolved mystery
Is there a clue, a cure, should life endure?
How much blood must be choked up
To make one pray for a flatline

Can't take anymore
Can't take anymore

Recurring words
Tell the shepherds
Someone's killed the flock
Troubled betrayer
Forgotten slayer
Spread disease with his glock
Creating mass graves
For all the stillborn dreams
That never had a chance to breathe
And never should've been silenced

Heart stained with handprints
Mind full of delusions
Body full of Judas
Spirit with clipped wings

(chorus)

Can't take anymore
Can't take anymore
CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!

Can you find one righteous cell
So you can spare this body
Don't place the plug in my hands
I pray joy returns after suffering so
I hope it comes back tenfold
Must stay by your side
Prevent this moral suicide
If there's only one word
That makes it's way inside
Would you hold on if I said FIGHT!

FIGHT!
FIGHT!
There's still life hidden in the shadows
We've sent enough innocents to the gallows
No more yearning for apocolypse
Escaping the anger of these lips
I WANT LIFE!
