"The Great Divorce" lyrics

"The Great Divorce"

I was born in this great divorce
Heaven tempted, Hell enforced
Tick-tick-ticking time bomb, wrapped in skin
My fear my fiction, my hope my resin
I breathe it in

I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
Pulls me down, down

I can't escape this, it's in my bones
This burden become me, and digs a hole
No absolution, no letting go
Whole world is screaming
"Pay your debt, this guilt is yours"
I breathe it in
I breathe it in

I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
It pulls me
It pulls me

Pay your respect, pay no mind
Pay your respect, pay no mind
Pay your respect, pay no mind
Pay your respect, pay no mind
Pay your respect, pay no mind
Pay your respect, pay no mind

I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
It pulls me
It pulls me

Pay your debt
Pay your debt
Pay your
