On a sea of nails in self doubt I push this feeling further into this sound In all my failings, I could never hide The truth of pain that left me broken, deep on the inside We are the future, we are the lie Trapped in holy innocence, we only wish to thrive We are the nightmare, buried deep in your mind We are the travesty, sweetened with your pain Alive, alive, we're barely alive Alive, alive, we're barely alive Shepherds spreading death Dragged outside, shot in the head Dragged outside, shot in the head A million faces in a bloody shroud I hear their voices calling me to put you down Covered in your blood, drowning in my hate I closed my eyes in all the pain I cover my eyes, I covered your eyes I covered my eyes We are the cancer eating at your mind We are the ministries for all of your crimes Shepherds spreading death Dragged outside, shot in the head Holy maimed again Dragged outside, shot in the head Dragged outside, shot in the head Holy maimed again, holy maimed again On a sea of nails, in self doubt I push this feeling further into this sound In all my failings, I could never hide The truth of pain that left me broken deep on the inside
