"Swallowed By The Earth" lyrics

Do you think that you're the only one who's been disappointed?
That no matter what you give, efforts fail, plans become disjointed?
It breaks my heart to tell you, but what I'm saying is true
No matter how much we ignore it, we all toy with the idea of forfeit

To suffer is human

If you're going through crisis, where do you put the pain?
Are we woven in violence and addicted to rage
If you're stifled dryness, how do you call down the rain?
When our fury meets silence, we're the ones who must change

I know what it feels like to think your every blessing's a curse
I've tasted the horror to witness all I've built be swallowed by the earth
Swallowed by the earth

If you're going through crisis, where do you put the pain?
Are we woven in violence and addicted to rage
If you're stifled dryness, how do you call down the rain?
When our fury meets silence, we're the ones who must change

We are all given a choice
We will all experience the purest of defeats
Will we let piteous anger consume us
Or remain vulnerable and proudly bleed?

In the face of horror
Be brave, proudly bleed
Anger's chains will loosen
In the end, you'll be freed

Don't let self-pity be your cage
To suffer is human
Embrace the ebb and flow of change
Our soul's evolution

If you're going through crisis, where do you put the pain?
Are we woven in violence and addicted to rage
If you're stifled dryness, how do you call down the rain?
When our fury meet silence, we're the ones who must change

In the face of horror
Be brave, proudly bleed
Anger's chains will loosen
In the end, you'll be freed
