Incision

Don't leave us
They said that you had gone astray
Don't lead us
Away from the light

We stood behind the veil and
watched you walk away from us
You shattered all our dreams
in one fatal mistake

You fractured every piece of life
that we cared about, remember how
You breathed in us new life
and then you took it away, you'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to
cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade
to make that first incision for you

Wait and see
The weight of life may be the end of me;
the tension, break me

We held you up on high so why did you abandon us?
We never thought you'd be the one to fall so far

You fractured every piece of life
that we cared about, remember how
You breathed in us new life
and then you took it away, you'll never live that down

I gave you every guiding word to
cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
Now you hand me back the blade to
make that first incision for you

For you
