Lyrics
I see the blood on your hands
Observation of guilt or responsibility for violence or wrongdoing.
I see the lies on the wall
Recognition of deceit or dishonesty evident and apparent.
I see the fortress you built now fall
Witnessing the collapse or downfall of a defensive structure or protection.
I see this house made of glass
A metaphor for vulnerability or fragility.
I see you throw the first stone
Accusation of initiating conflict or causing harm.
I see you sinking the ship all alone
Perceiving self-inflicted isolation or destruction.
You'll never feel this pain until you fight this war
Understanding pain only through direct engagement in a battle or struggle.
You'll never go without until you beg for more
Learning deprivation by experiencing insufficiency and seeking more.
You'll never hear their screams 'til the silence falls
Awareness of suffering or distress, waiting until there's complete silence.
And you never turn your back 'til the knives are drawn
Staying vigilant until confrontation or conflict arises.
I see you shaking inside
Observing internal turmoil or fear.
I see you've lost all control
Noting the loss of self-command or authority.
I see the ghost of the past and I know
Acknowledging haunting memories from the past.
I made this bed full of nails
Consequences faced due to self-inflicted pain or suffering.
I built this tomb on my own
Creating a self-imposed prison or confinement.
I wont forgive and forget and I hope
Refusing to forgive and forget, harboring resentment.
You'll never feel this pain until you fight this war
Similar to line 9, implying the need to engage in personal battles to truly understand.
You'll never go without until you beg for more
Experiencing lack until one desires more, emphasizing insatiability.
You'll never hear their screams 'til the silence falls
Highlighting the absence of empathy until absolute quietness ensues.
And you never turn your back 'til the knives are drawn
Remaining vigilant and cautious until hostility is expressed.
A broken mirror fills my soul
Feeling incomplete or damaged due to past experiences.
And all these shattered pieces still wont make me whole
Despite suffering, the broken pieces do not provide wholeness.
The longer that I stay the more this distance grows
Increasing emotional distance with time spent.
Now I cant look away because your knives are drawn
Unable to divert attention because of imminent threat or aggression.
I'll wait
Indicating patience despite expectations.
But I should of known
Regretting lack of prior understanding or awareness.
I'll wait
Repetition of waiting, akin to hopelessness or perpetual longing.
Like a lost child never to find a home
Feeling lost and without a sense of belonging.
I'll break
Willingness to yield but refusing solitary existence.
But I wont wander this world alone
Choosing not to traverse life's path alone despite resentment.
I hate
Expressing animosity or disdain.
But still the knives are drawn
Reiterating the imminent threat of conflict or danger.
