Wolves At the Gate Convalesce song lyrics

I know who you are, you wanted to be perfect

In all that you were, but you bailed, you bailed

I know who you are, you wanted to be worth it

In all that you were, but you failed, you failed

Kill all the lights - you fear what's inside

Cover Your eyes - I'm trying to run and to hide in shadows

Filling the void with just a veneer

Watching your steps and hoping that I don't come near - Don't follow

I know you thought, you thought you'd never need it

But you can't hide behind all your claims, your claims

Guilt is now the anchor pulling, dragging your head under

Drowning deeper down below

Fear is just a false claim, vanity has locked the irons

Sinking faster, heart is hollow

Show me your sorrow my love

This burden is the milestone 'round your neck

Convalesce and I will bear, bear your shame

The voice of hell screams and roars

Of what has been done

Tens of thousands and countless more

Yet I'll remember not one

You know who I am, I wanted to be perfect

In all that I am, but I failed, I failed

Would you walk in darkness just to find a broken rebel?

Crippled legs won't find their way

Could you look upon my blackened soul

I've wrecked and ruined

How could see me without clean hands or a pure heart?

Show me your sorrow my love

This burden is the milestone 'round your neck

Convalesce and I will bear, bear your shame, every stain

Bear your shame, every stain
