Intervention Lyrics
Forgive all my sins. I know I'll commit them.
I know what will happen when I trade reason for loss of control.
A call to arms, with holes and scars,
With healthy minds we enlist in war.
You will see a shadow cast upon the light you know.
There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below.
You'll lose yourself, but you won't find any peace, you won't find any hope.
You'll lose yourself. Is this where you belong?
You try to avoid it, you try to abstain,
But it relentlessly takes it's control.
You must obey, you'll cower now,
You've surpassed your threshold for pain.
You will see a shadow cast upon the light you know.
There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below.
You'll lose yourself, but you won't find any peace, you won't find any hope.
You'll lose yourself.
Is this where you be you and not the one who's trapped inside?
You can make a difference, look into your mind.
Your memories are what defines who you really are,
That's what makes you special, beautiful.
You can still be loved, you are held in such a high regard.
Your blood is contagious, summoning desperation.
Your mind is a blur, a chemical spill, you need to wipe it out.
You must fight, you must stand, you must believe in yourself.
You will see a shadow cast upon the world you know.
There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below.
You'll lose yourself, but you won't find any peace, you won't find any hope.
You'll lose yourself. Is this where you belong?
I know what will happen when I trade reason for loss of control.
A call to arms, with holes and scars,
With healthy minds we enlist in war.
There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below.
You'll lose yourself, but you won't find any peace, you won't find any hope.
You'll lose yourself. Is this where you belong?
But it relentlessly takes it's control.
You must obey, you'll cower now,
You've surpassed your threshold for pain.
There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below.
You'll lose yourself, but you won't find any peace, you won't find any hope.
You'll lose yourself.
You can make a difference, look into your mind.
Your memories are what defines who you really are,
That's what makes you special, beautiful.
You can still be loved, you are held in such a high regard.
Your mind is a blur, a chemical spill, you need to wipe it out.
You must fight, you must stand, you must believe in yourself.
There will be an angel weeping tears of blood that stain the earth below.
You'll lose yourself, but you won't find any peace, you won't find any hope.
You'll lose yourself. Is this where you belong?

Did the best I could, I'll be listening to it a few more times to try and nail down the lyrics for sure but any help is appreciated.
They're definitely right. The booklet confirms that.

i love this song. probably my favorite from the new album. I love right after the second chorus how it starts to be uplifting and encouraging. this songs puts a picture of an intervention in my mind. they are trying to help someone get better, and in that part they try to lift their spirits. but right after that in the breakdown is when they get serious and say they have to get help.
Shane: "This song probably changed the most from when we first wrote it to how it is on the record. We ended up overhauling the whole verse and made it double time, but there's a demo version out from when it was slower. It's cool to see how one change of the drums can make the vibe of a song so different." Seems that this is reviewers' favourite one off the album. I do actually like it, but I think that many other tracks are far better than this one (Replace You, Burning Hearts, Sacrifice, The Artist, just to name a few).
