Lyrics
You're the evil, you seek to destroy
In your hand and your heart
Your the child that still holds the toy
You can’t bear to apart
Broken down Is this what you want?
Pointing fingers, laying blame
Look around, feels like a taunt
Feeling nothing, feeling Shame
Whos gonna tear out a piece of their heart ?
Who’s gonna break themselves apart
Who’s gonna tear a piece of their heart
No one wants to start
There’s a price , For the truth that you tell
You might pay with what you owe
There's a path, but it might lead to hell
seeking what we not yet know
Whos gonna tear out a piece of their heart ?
Who’s gonna break themselves apart
Who’s gonna tear a piece of their heart
No one wants to start
As you become more
Things you do matter
As you become all
That you are meant to
We’ll settle the score
Another time,
this is more important now
Whos gonna tear out a piece of their heart ?
Who’s gonna break themselves apart
Who’s gonna tear a piece of their heart
No one wants to start
