Lyrics: Not I

So now you're suffering
the fallacy of what you said
When you uncover the depression
from where you've tread
Breathe over the glass you wrote on
Swallow all that you waste your throat on
You wear the make and wave the banner
they made with sin
Revealing every single lie
that you've been breeding within
Wash over the skin you've broken
Think over the tone you spoke in

(Pre-chorus:)
So lost in your affliction / addiction
The solemn comfort of your grave
If you close your eyes
the light can't take it away

(Chorus:)
Not I - I won't conform to what I see in you
Not I - I won't surrender what I am
Not I - And even if it was a part of me
Not I - I'll never be that way again

The blind will follow on the path
that you created in vain
No guiding light, but just the shadow
of the dead will remain
Dig open the pain you're hiding
Give your hand to the faith you're fighting
The void you suffer is a curse
forever bleeding inside
Now you embrace the fatal sickness
you should despise
Remember the day you lost that
Where is the shame that will
bring your soul back

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Reach back behind your pride
And pull the thorn from your burning pain in your
side

Sing me a new song
A broken song of redemption and regret
Sing me a new song
And beg for all the mercy you can get

(Chorus)
