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 & Tim Lambesis] Can't you see you're hiding from something? Avoiding the hurt Avoiding the darkness of your heart [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] 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 & 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: Phil Sgrosso] [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 & 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
