Aorta - Bruises Lyrics

Distorted lines
Echoing on the wind
Restricted minds
Refusing to accept who I really am
I don't wanna feel like I'm lying
Wondering why none of this made any sense
And I don't wanna feel like I'm fighting
Always building walls up in self defence
How does your heart bleed when it's made of stone?
Open up and you'll see the fear I can't disown
I won't survive always backing down
So I'm breaking out from all the pain I've known
All I've known
Their supercilious eyes glare
Poisoned whispers stalking me
Paper cuts inside rip and tear
With their words that cut deep
Battered and beaten and broken
With the bruises that I own
But when they leave me forsaken
Thicker skin I will grow
How does your heart bleed when it's made of stone?
Open up and you'll see the fear I can't disown
I won't survive always backing down
So I'm breaking out from all the pain I've known
All I've known
These dreams that haunted me
Baren land I see
Ashen skies above
Alone
Wind that chills my bones
Ice that cracks below
Stuck at a crossroads
Defeated
Fear that's come to be
Burning rage in me
Flames engulf the trees
Wake up
Reflections catch my eye
Truth I can't deny
The demon stuck inside
Was always me
How does your heart bleed when it's made of stone?
Open up and you'll see the fear I can't disown
I won't survive always backing down
So I'm breaking out from all the pain I've known
All I've known
