As I Lay Dying Whitewashed Tomb Lyrics

[Intro: Tim Lambesis]
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

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]
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?
[Chorus 1: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff and Tim Lambesis]
Can't you see, you're hiding from something
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart

[Verse 2]
The story within is forgery
That does not match what those close to you see
But the story on the outsidе
Is painted elegantly so that you can hidе
You're a whitewashed tomb
(A whitewashed tomb)
I'd never want to be like you

[Chorus 2: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff and Tim Lambesis]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]
Coward
You're a whitewashed tomb
Coward
I'd never want to be like you
[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
I know who sits behind the curtain now
My mirror image

[Chorus 3: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff and Tim Lambesis]
Can't you see, you're hiding from something
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness, the darkness of your heart
Darkness of your heart

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]
Sorrow awaits
A whitewashed tomb
