Lyrics
There is nothing left for me here anymore
Feeling devoid of purpose or belonging in this place
Are there demons at my door
Questioning if there are threatening forces outside
They seem lost
The possible confusion or aimlessness of these forces
Fables of old blind the meek
Stories from the past obscure the weak or humble
I'm just scared that finally now I see
Fear of newfound clarity or understanding
Now I see
Reiteration of the fear of newfound clarity
Is there something
Questioning the presence of something within
Deep inside of me, I want to leave
A desire to distance oneself from inner turmoil
Far behind me
Wanting to leave past troubles far behind
Lest my soul from ever getting sleep
Fearing a restless conscience or guilt
Taking oath, follow closely
Committing to a promise, possibly leading others astray
Tell the masses that they're broken
Informing others of their brokenness or faults
Neither God, nor a master
Rejecting both divine and human authority
Feel the words, exalt no presence
Refusing to glorify any presence through words
Is there something
Questioning the presence of something within (repeated)
Deep inside of me, I want to leave
Desire to distance oneself from inner turmoil (repeated)
Far behind me
Wanting to leave past troubles far behind (repeated)
Lest my soul from ever getting sleep
Fearing a restless conscience or guilt (repeated)
These words I will keep sealed inside my head
Keeping certain thoughts or feelings private
The people who kneel hurt their knees instead
People who submit or conform suffer instead of gain
Tear pages from the book
Destroying established norms or traditions
And swallow every phrase
Accepting and internalizing teachings or ideologies
We'll wait for truth be told
Awaiting the revelation of truth
To the endless day
Enduring a perpetually long period of waiting
Slave away
Working tirelessly without aid
On your own
Standing independent or relying on oneself
Take my faith
Offering one's belief or trust
Take my soul
Surrendering one's essence or identity
