Graven Image Lyrics

​​Dodging silver bullets from the barrel of your tongue

Drinking blood like wine the way we did when we were young

But I just couldn't be all those things you wanted to see

I was carving out my graven cross to bear

I still haven't shown you all the ways that I have grown

But I'm tired of pretending that I care

I will live and die a thousand times before I'm gone

And with this final cycle comes breaking of the dawn

You just couldn't see all those things I wanted to be

And these countless compromises can't compare

I still haven't shown you all the ways that I have grown

But I'm tired of pretending that I care

One day we will be

All the things we wanted to see

And we will show it in our words and in our actions!

No more nightmares, no more crying

No more sins or testifying

No more getting by on cheap distractions!

We won't have to keep pretending

Life is neverending

And we will show it in our words and interactions!

One day we will be

All the things we wanted to see

And we won't have to keep pretending that we care
