Your illusion of kindness
The delusion that you've healed and moved on
Virtue signaling your reasons
But avoidance is a symptom of the unresolved, the unresolved
Are you even aware of what is truly at play? (Are you even aware)
Are you able to see (are you able to see)
The parts of you that wither away?
Can't you see, you're hiding from something?
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart
The story within is forgery
That does not match what those close to you see
But the story on the outside
Is painted elegantly so that you can hide
You're a whitewashed tomb (you're a whitewashed tomb)
I'd never want to be like you
Can't you see, you're hiding from something?
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart
Silently waiting while slowly decaying
Uphold appearance while sorrow
Sorrow awaits, sorrow awaits
Coward, you're a whitewashed tomb
Coward, I'd never want to be like you
Redemption will never look the way you want it to
And we will never be good enough to see your truth
But how could vibrant life fit within your view?
Encased in fools gold but full of doom
I know who sits behind the curtain now
My mirror image
Can't you see, you're hiding from something?
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness, the darkness of your heart
Darkness of your heart
Sorrow awaits
In a whitewashed tomb
