Gatekeeper - As I Lay Dying

You’ve lost touch

You’ve lost touch with the outcasts

Have you forgotten your own past?

Have you forgotten that your house is made of glass?

So while you’re pointing your fingers

You are unable to use your hands

To help with solving

Solving real and present problems

'Cause we’re appealing

And you’ve become too perfect to understand

You’re a gatekeeper

Blocking the entrance to nowhere

You’re a gatekeeper

Trying to keep others in despair, yeah

Trying to keep others in despair

I don’t want you to get dirty reaching down to a lowly creature

I don’t want you to show mercy and make me like you, self-righteous preacher

Did you think you were the only one

The only one who held the keys?

Did you hope that your judgement would

Spread just like a disease?

You’re a gatekeeper

Blocking the entrance to nowhere

You’re a gatekeeper

Trying to keep others in despair

The self-importance of the moral elite

To think that their approval means anything, yeah

So eager to capitalize

Capitalize on other people’s pain

But when the healing begins

So quick to turn away

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten your own past?

You’re a gatekeeper

Blocking the entrance to nowhere

You’re a gatekeeper

Keeping others in despair
