Release - Anacrusis

Release Lyrics

For forever living in
For forever dying in
The shadow of a killing cross
Born and held accountableSworn to bear the burden now
For sinful nails driven deepBut I can't be responsible
For having done the unthinkable
And won't
No, I won't play that roleFor forever living in
For forever dying in
The ashes of a smoldering cross
Born and held accountableSworn to bear the burden now
For shameful hands which held the flameBut I can't be responsible
For changing the unchangeable
And won't
Don't, to ourselves we owe releaseWith rusted chains
We incarcerate and cage ourselves
Cease
We patronize and crucify and kill ourselvesWe seduce the past

And draw it close
And hold it tight
And never let it goUntil we hurt ourselves
And hate ourselves
And blame ourselves again, againNo, we can't be responsible
For bearing the unbearable
And won't
Don't, to ourselves we owe releaseWith rusted chains
We incarcerate and cage ourselves
Cease
We patronize and crucify and kill ourselvesWe seduce the past
And draw it close
And hold it tight
And never let it goUntil we hurt ourselves
And hate ourselves
And blame ourselves again, again
