Flyleaf - Flyleaf Lyrics
I'm So Sick
I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it! I'm screaming it!
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so
I'm so sick

Fully Alive
Telling Layla's story spoken
'Bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
Here she stands today
In her brilliant shining way
Stronger than her pain
In her brilliant shining way
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in Jesus

Perfect
Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself
I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
I tried to kill you
You tried to save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone

Cassie
The question asked in order to save her life or take it.
The answer 'no', avoiding death and 'yes' would make it.
'Do you believe in God?' written on the bullet.
Say yes to pull the trigger and my sister, Cassie, pulled it.
They didn't love their lives so much, as to shrink from death.
Inspired in their footsteps, we will march ahead.
Don't be shocked that people die.
Be surprised you're still alive.
All heads are bowed in silent reverence.
The floor is wet with tears of sorrowful remembrance.
The alter's filled with hearts of repentance.
Perfect love kills all fear.
Rejoice in this deliverance!
They didn't love their lives so much, as to shrink from death.
Inspired by their footsteps, we will march ahead.
Don't be shocked that people die.
Be surprised you're still alive.

Sorrow
Sometimes life seems to quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars
Joy will come

Im Sorry
I'm sorry
I don't mean to remember
It's true that I dream less often
I'm not ashamed
Of that long December
Your hand's coming down again
I close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
I'm falling (falling)
I'm shedding my skin (my skin)
But it's not time I'm told
I am aware (am aware)
Of what you mean by then
I'm only ten years old
Close my eyes and brace myself
Only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
My scars are yours today
This story ends so good
I love you and I understand
That you stood where I stood
Close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna break my shell
No matter what you're gonna break my shell
I'm done healing
I'm done healing

All Around Me
My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you, you
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
We're still alive
And I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
So I cry
Holy
The light is white
Holy
And I see you
Only You
And I'm alive
I'm still alive
We're still alive
And I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed

Red Sam
Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings
There you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you
But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life
The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you
But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life
My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship
You!
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

There For You
Sometimes I'm a selfish fake
You're always a true friend
I don't deserve you
'Cause I'm not there for you
please forgive me again
I wanna be there for you,
someone you can come to
runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you,
Swirling shades of blue
Slow dancing in your eyes
The sun kisses the earth
and I hush my urge to cry, cry
I wanna be there for you,
someone you can come to
runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you,
'Cause I hear the whispered words
Within you're masterpiece beautiful
Speak the unspeakable phrase
I love you too
I wanna be there for you,
someone you can come to
I wanna be there for you,
Be someone you can come to
Love runs deeper than my bones
And you, you're beautiful, don't you know?

Breathe Today
You try your hardest to perfect your explanations
You lie until they've run out of questions
You can only move as fast as those in front of you
And if you assume just like them,what good will it do?
So find out for yourself,so your ignorance will stop bleeding through
Only one thing
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away you can breathe today breathe today
So many lies swirling around you you're suffocating
The empty space in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
Logic forces me to believe in this and now I've learned to see
I can only say what I've seen and heard and only you can choose
And every choice you make will affect you,search your own self
You can breathe today
So many lies swarming around you, you're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away
So many lies swarming around you you're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
You can breathe today
Breathe today

So I Thought
All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories
Show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because
so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought
A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume
Myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times
A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
The times weren't right
And I couldn't talk about it
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it
[guitar solo]
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last healing
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus, there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus, there in between
