The storm is coming and I have a choice
To accept nature or lose my voice
Shall I scream and plead for nothing
Or build a roof over my head?
I mourn the days that I wasted
Trying to change what has been set
Fighting against myself
Before I tear, tear out my eyes
I'll just admit they're part of me
I've labelled enemies who do not hate me
And then claims friends who could care less
All an unnecessary struggle
So now I know what it means to repent
Changing everything
Before I tear, tear out my eyes
I'll just admit they're part of me (they're part of me)
Instead of fighting against myself
I will open my eyes
To find who needs me
I am awakened
I am awakened
Before I tear, tear out my eyes
I'll just admit they're part of me (they're part of me)
I am awakened
To accept nature or lose my voice
Shall I scream and plead for nothing
Or build a roof over my head?
I mourn the days that I wasted
Trying to change what has been set
Fighting against myself
Before I tear, tear out my eyes
I'll just admit they're part of me
I've labelled enemies who do not hate me
And then claims friends who could care less
All an unnecessary struggle
So now I know what it means to repent
Changing everything
Before I tear, tear out my eyes
I'll just admit they're part of me (they're part of me)
Instead of fighting against myself
I will open my eyes
To find who needs me
I am awakened
I am awakened
Before I tear, tear out my eyes
I'll just admit they're part of me (they're part of me)
I am awakened

sigh It disturbs me how quickly people commenting on As I Lay Dying refer to religion... Their songs are amazing because they can be applied to anyone, not just a book and belief. I think the song is about how people can be so quick to judge and the struggle with one self afterwards and the consequences. It is human nature to judge, and though its a bad thing, though its unhealthy, we must forgive and understand that it happens. To move on and understand that it's part of life, not dwell on the past, but prevent in the future.
