Tear open my chest

so hold your tongue
but don't hold your breath
cause you might say something
that you will regret
the war you petitioned so hard for
is slowly slipping away
the road you paved is crumbling
an iron fist
a stone heart
screaming the same old song
never (never!)
showing (showing!)
never showing heart!
the road you paved
is slowly slipping away
you only offer defeat
with the words you speak
tear open my chest and see sincerity
I know you are waiting for the day I will break
til my last breath
I'll be the same
til I meet death
I will remain
