lyrics

Of Mind And Failure

Look at your hands 
A thousand and one
 From strong enough bands
 Progress will come

  I know the path 
Through treacherous grey
 Searching for sparks 
While crossing decay

  To heal our wounds
 I left my own
 In fervor looms 
The hubris of one

  Like fire, it spreads 
Straight down through the brush
 White is the flame
 Ice cold is its touch  

No you don't understand 
That this is not what I meant
 You do not understand 
No this is not what I had in mind
 No this is not what I meant to do

  I feel I can control the fear 
When you are broken down 
A truth in which you’ll drown  

Why don’t you ever cross that line 
How could I let go
 Don’t tell me “I told you so”  

As temperatures drop
 I feel the heat 
Push on with your lies 
They’ll never stop me  

As temperatures drop 
I feel the heat 
Push on with your lies
 They’ll never stop me 

No, you don't understand 
That this is not what I meant
 You do not understand 
No this is not what I had in mind
 No this is not what I meant to do

  I feel I can control the fear 
When you are broken down 
A truth in which you’ll drown  
Why don’t you ever cross that line 
How could I let go 
Don’t tell me “I told you so”
