Stand Alone Complex by To Speak Of Wolves Lyrics

Was I damned from the start
Or just when their marriage fell apart?

Come back in time
Take hell's flames out of my eyes
I'm setting fire
To everyone and everything

It burns beneath my skin
Sending smoke signals to heaven
For him to save me
It would stain heaven's gates
The pearls will never be replaced

They serve as a reminder
His children still suffer
They serve as a reminder
His children still suffer
They serve as a reminder
His children still suffer
Come on!

Does my "try" make god blush?
Does my heart still decay?
Does it still rust?
Cause I feel
That all my gears
Are starting to dry
It's beginning to be too much for me

Oh, life how could you be so cruel to me?
Cut me some slack
And I'll pick up everything I lack

If you'd grant me this strength
Then I'll return it to you
By a thousand fold
A thousand fold

Dear brother
Brother
Though our mothers aren't the one
We share a father

He never wished the weight you spit
To be collared
On you own
You cast your fault
Project your loss
But reflections must
Mirror the victor
Your heart longs to honor
The fact remains
That his flawlessness waits
To accept only
Utter surrender
And he's extending his arms
Mom, come home when you can
I swear dad has changed
He's still a good man

If I'm wrong I'll hold my head high
I'll let god
Spit in my face

I know you would still grab the flame
(I'll let God spit in my face!)
I know you would still grab the flame
(I'll let God spit in my face!)

If I burn
If I burn

I know you'd still grab the flame
I know you'd still grab the flame
