Self Defiance
by Cry Of The Afflicted

Album: The Unveiling

Take my fingers, and take my hands.
Save me from myself, selfish distractions.
Board the windows, and lock all doors.
Save me from my flaws, misguided solutions.

I'm always walking on the easiest path.
And I know, that road, it leads to nothing.
Aligned my footsteps and led me to the route
that you've laid, for me, ready and waiting.
Why have I turned my back so many times
on clear direction?
Why have I listened to the whispers
that are from the dark?

Take my fingers, and take my hands.
Save me from myself, selfish distractions.
Board the windows, and lock all doors.
Save me from my flaws, misguided solutions.

It never seems to matter how many times
that I fail on my own,
convinced that im stronger.
Your gentle hand is reaching,
leading me safely away.
From the dark, the fiction in my mind.

And once again.
I realize that I'm short of the goal.
I've wandered so far from where I should be.
I've led myself astray for what?
For comfort? There is no comfort here...
Carry me home.
Carry me home.
There was never any comfort here.

Take my fingers, and take my hands.
Save me from myself, selfish distractions.
Board the windows, and lock all doors.
Save me from my flaws, misguided solutions.
