The Gift

Folder: 
2007

How close the call was

We hardly escaped

Before we threw ourselves away

We tried it one last time

Cause, we're addicted to failure

And the feelings it inspires

Cause, we're all just animals cloaked in fear

And showing our teeth when our enemies draw near

And, we spill thier blood like it was their gift to give



We shut ourselves down

We shut ourselves down

We shut ourselves out

And, then we beg to come back in



I can't believe it takes a genius

To complicate what's simple

When we all know science is just a symbol

For the kind of men who never find love

And never truly know what life's about



We shut ourselves down

We shut ourselves down

We shut ourselves out

And, then we beg to come back in



Who hurt you

Who drove you to this insanity

And, who broke your heart as a child

Because, that's the answer

And, that's the gift they gave you
