Cerebral Broadside - Tear

Ohhh oh
Ohh oh oh oh ohh
Tearing away, this bandage may degrade
But the scars they'd still remain, they still remain
Live to fight another day, ambitions left un-swayed
This heart that can-not be tamed, when I control the reins
I'm locked inside, I'm locked in this prison
And now I just wanna be free
You left in a hurry, you left me alive
And mistakenly tried to melt down the key
Shaking the bars, screaming don't go
Tears in my eyes, and I'm tearing my throat
So I'll make this my home, painting the ceiling as skies
While sketching the floor as a road
As we try to abide, contained we're
Afraid to connect with the feelings we hide
We try to confide, in a prophet that's left us
Betrayed and afraid to reside
I'll rise from my knees, consuming unease
Counting the seconds, til' I'm on my feet
Strength to remain, I'm alive and the fight can proceed
Relief that could tear us away
Tearing away, this bandage may degrade
But the scars they'd still remain, they still remain
Live to fight another day, ambitions left un-swayed
This heart that can-not be tamed, when I control the reins
I'm out of my frame; poundin' like
Rain on the top of a glacier
Pulled the heart from the brain, and
Now through the make-up, I see what
Their "I"'s really saying
And I'm not hiding my face
Hot iron and chain - a mechanical mask of societal anguish
Not much remains; it's raw and it's painful
I'm healing in a powerful way
They might call me crazy; but I border okay
Gold in the scars like an oriental vase, the dawn of my strength
Born about my hatred - I'm pulling my heart from a voided embrace
Do I have any right to be angry? I'm not sure, anyway
My core's really gone with these thoughts that remain
Hollow and jaded like a porcelain egg; the hurt is
Tearing away, this bandage may degrade
But the scars they'd still remain, they still remain
Live to fight another day, ambitions left un-swayed
This heart that can-not be tamed, when I control the reins
We're left to reside, we're casting a shadow
And shattered the past memories
I'm finding the purpose, I'm finding the stride
Now I stand here alive and I'm finally free
I'm looking afar, standing alone
Horizons arise, with the falling of Rome
There's need to atone, pray for the sin that I write
Emotionally charred to the bone
Now I'm takin' this dive, arose from the ashes
A phoenix is born for the sky
It's ready for flight, becoming a bird of the prey
And a Beacon of light
No need to retreat, a force in the fleet
Bound, taking lashes; a feline to feed
Emerge like a seed, the roots they resist the decay
And now I'm just tearing away
Tearing away, this bandage may degrade
But the scars they'd still remain, they still remain
Live to fight another day, ambitions left un-swayed
This heart that can-not be tamed, when I control the reins
Whoa whoa oh oh whoa whoa oh oh oh oh
So what's your Catalyst For Change
Infinitely meticulous syllables
Tearing away, this bandage may degrade
But the scars they'd still remain, they still remain
Live to fight another day, ambitions left un-swayed
This heart that can-not be tamed, when I control the reins
