Some Imagined Safety by This Glass Embrace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The truth is rolled up in the hollows of our bones
We are the same
The truth is printed inside out beneath our skin
Spelled out in veins
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So when they come to take you I will take your place
So when they come to take you I will take your place
[Chorus]
Of course I am afraid, but fear will never be my name
Our lives are wasted if all we build are barricades
If we destroy ourselves to make ourselves feel safe
Our love is worthless if love has driven us to hate
[Verse 2]
Tell me a story where the heroes turned their guns
On unarmed kids
Show me where Jesus said that money matters more
Than caring for the sick
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As long as those we kill are someone else's kin
As long as those we kill are someone else's kin
[Chorus]
Of course I am afraid, but fear will never be my name
Our lives are wasted if all we build are barricades
If we destroy ourselves to make ourselves feel safe
Our love is worthless if love has driven us to hate
[Bridge: Matt LeFevers and Zoey LeFevers]
We will tear a father from his family
Grind up the destitute in our machinery
Let the strangers die outside our boundaries
In the name of some imagined safety
We will tear a father from his family
Grind up the destitute in our machinery
Let the strangers die outside our boundaries
In the name of some imagined safety
Of course I am afraid
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Of course I am afraid, but fear will never be my name
Our lives are wasted if all we build are barricades
If we destroy ourselves to make ourselves feel safe
Our love is worthless if love has driven us to hate
The truth is rolled up in the hollows of our bones
We are the same
The truth is printed inside out beneath our skin
Spelled out in veins
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So when they come to take you I will take your place
So when they come to take you I will take your place
[Chorus]
Of course I am afraid, but fear will never be my name
Our lives are wasted if all we build are barricades
If we destroy ourselves to make ourselves feel safe
Our love is worthless if love has driven us to hate
[Verse 2]
Tell me a story where the heroes turned their guns
On unarmed kids
Show me where Jesus said that money matters more
Than caring for the sick
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As long as those we kill are someone else's kin
As long as those we kill are someone else's kin
[Chorus]
Of course I am afraid, but fear will never be my name
Our lives are wasted if all we build are barricades
If we destroy ourselves to make ourselves feel safe
Our love is worthless if love has driven us to hate
[Bridge: Matt LeFevers and Zoey LeFevers]
We will tear a father from his family
Grind up the destitute in our machinery
Let the strangers die outside our boundaries
In the name of some imagined safety
We will tear a father from his family
Grind up the destitute in our machinery
Let the strangers die outside our boundaries
In the name of some imagined safety
Of course I am afraid
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Of course I am afraid, but fear will never be my name
Our lives are wasted if all we build are barricades
If we destroy ourselves to make ourselves feel safe
Our love is worthless if love has driven us to hate
