He bends and he breaks
If he gives they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace

He exhales
A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away

Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave them numb, leave them crushed
Leave them numb, leave them crushed

Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning over and out
Now he flails
Up against the raging tides
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see
See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time

Climb down to test the waters
My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me
Decision's been made obvious
So I will return Where I started
I'll stay here
When I'm finished I'll whither away

Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave them numb, leave them crushed
Leave them numb, leave them crushed

    Nope, just you. Have you heard the album, this is the next chapter in the break up. This song was ment to be airy. The last song on the album was our sick story (thus far). Our Sick Story is verry hateful. Where as this one is the adverse emotion. Our Sick Story, is the anger of her cheating, as this song, tells the of the hurt. You need to open your mind and your ears to the song its self.
