Shatter

You've had enough at the sound of the name
No sooner than it was said, I felt the atmosphere change
Thoughts betrayed by the look on your face
I know the weight of the word, the carnal resolve to escape
Turning your back on all you are, you choke it off
But in the quiet of your heart, you know
Let shatter the hollow that you hold
Time, it slips away
One way or another, this I know
Every single one of us will break
Open your eyes and unclench your fists
Here where anything goes, the sole exception is this
Tell it straight, call it for what it is
You know the weight of the word, the call you resolve to resist
Turning your back on all you are, you choke it off
But in the quiet of your heart, you know
Let shatter the hollow that you hold
Time, it slips away
One way or another, this I know
Every single one of us will break
Whether by choice or under circumstance
Relent of will or in the agony of consequence
If only in the blinding clutches of death, know this
That which you've made up your mind to reject will break you yet
Let shatter the hollow that you hold
Time, it slips away
One way or another, this I know
Every single one of us will break
