Lyrics for Whitewashed Tomb
Your illusion of kindness The delusion that you've healed to move on Virtue signaling your reasons But avoidance is a symptom of the unresolved 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 hid械 You're a whitewashed tomb (you're a whitewashed tomb) I'd never wanna 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 wanna 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 fool's gold but full of doom I know who sits behind the curtain now Whoa-oh-oh My mirror image Whoa-oh-oh Can't you see you're hiding from something? Avoiding the hurt, avoiding the darkness The darkness of your heart (whoa-oh-oh) Darkness of your heart (whoa-oh-oh) Sorrow awaits Whoa-oh-oh A whitewashed tomb Whoa-oh-oh
