he bends and he breaks
if you kiss it will take away
his passion, his pain, his brain
he excels
a thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
see him numb, see him crushed
see him numb, see him crushed
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
leave him numb, leave him crushed
leave him numb, leave him crushed
just a fire inside one too many times
hes burning over and out now he fails
up against the raging tides
no more fights
everything you ever wanted to see
i see it in his eyes
one more time, one more time
my time to test the waters
my hands feel like they're rusting away
so obvious, so numb, i can leave before the slaughter
i'll stay here, as long as you let me
decisions, then, made obvious, and while they're in tune
where i started, i'll stay there
when i'm finished
i'll wither away
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
see him numb, see him crushed
see him numb, see him crushed
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
leave him numb, leave him crushed
leave him numb, leave him crushed
if you kiss it will take away
his passion, his pain, his brain
he excels
a thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
see him numb, see him crushed
see him numb, see him crushed
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
leave him numb, leave him crushed
leave him numb, leave him crushed
just a fire inside one too many times
hes burning over and out now he fails
up against the raging tides
no more fights
everything you ever wanted to see
i see it in his eyes
one more time, one more time
my time to test the waters
my hands feel like they're rusting away
so obvious, so numb, i can leave before the slaughter
i'll stay here, as long as you let me
decisions, then, made obvious, and while they're in tune
where i started, i'll stay there
when i'm finished
i'll wither away
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
see him numb, see him crushed
see him numb, see him crushed
rip them, i'll take them
burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing that
resembles a soul of a man
leave him numb, leave him crushed
leave him numb, leave him crushed

If you give they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace.
He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away
Rip them out, take them,
Burn the coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles the soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, See him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles the soul of a man
Leave him numb. leave him crushed
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning over and out now,
He fails
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see,
See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time
Climb down to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away yea, away yea.
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me,
Decisions been made obvious so I will return
Where I started I'll stay there
Unfinished
I'll wither away
Rip them out, take them,
Burn the coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
that resembles the soul of a man
See him numb, See him crushed
See him numb, See him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn the coals as they crush and
Leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, Leave him crushed
Leave him numb, Leave him crushed
Sounds like something i'm in. Girl fools around with me 8 months, she'll never love me. I ove her, but it'll never happen. It's a sick world...
This song is dark and beautiful. The riffs are just so calm yet beautifully evil. <3 atreyu
Imo this is about a girl taking over who a guy is, stealing his old identity and turning him into her lover 100%
gorgeous song.

If youve seen the music video, it makes perfect sense. A little boy is twisted and shaped into what others want him to be. He never has "his time to test the waters." In the video it shows a little boy playing with a plane. This boy goes to some fancy party all dressed up. THe rest of the video shows him succeding in everything. HOwever, he is never happy. At the end, he returns to where he was playing with the plane
ATREYU- FUCK YEA
'Took the fire inside one too many times.' sounds like the feeling some drinks do to you when you drink them.
Those are the wrong lyrics btw...
Right stuff ->
He bends and he breaks.
If he gives they will take away his passion, his pain, his grace.
He exhales.
A thousand black flowers explode into butterflies as they're away.
Rip them out, take them.
Burn to coals as they crush him leave nothing,
That resembles a soul of a man.
Leave him numb, leave him crushed.
Rip them out, take them.
Burn to coals as they crush him leave nothing,
that resembles a soul of a man.
Leave him numb, leave him crushed.
Took the fire inside one too many times.
He's burning over and out as he flails
Up against the raging tides.
No more sides, everything you ever wanted to see, see it in his eyes.
One more time, one more time.
Climb down to test the waters,
my hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah.
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter.
I'll stay here as long as you'll let me.
Decisions seen made obvious. So I will return where I started,
I'll stay there, unfinished, I'll wither away.
Rip them out, take them.
Burn to coals as they crush him leave nothing,
That resembles a soul of a man.
Leave him numb, leave him crushed.
Rip them out, take them.
Burn to coals as they crush him leave nothing,
that resembles a soul of a man.
Leave him numb, leave him crushed.
