Rising Lyrics

Shrink me down to a lie
Cut me up like a knife
An empty plate for my hunger
An empty glass for my thirst
A broken smile for your might
Swallowed tongues and white eyes
Cold gasoline in my throat
Framing a black hole
A desolating cry
A withering mind
One day to be remembered
One day to be a stranger

Scraping for that glimpse of kindness Came to see, where you are
Rolled the dice, lost the fight
Cut the chain, broke the dam
Fix the holes, others grow
Said my name, heard the pain
Sweeping thru what is left
Starved the hope, shot the blank
Felt the rain on your face

You're the fool that waits
The hand that gives, but never takes
