The Settlement - Issues

«Until death» used to mean something more

Than a proverb framed on the walls of a broken home

Closed doors can only hide so much

Pacing through this hallway, I listen in disgust

As you divide my mind and force my years into minutes

Destroy the hands of time, the hands that made me whole

What if I become a silhouette of this very same thing?

Then everything you taught me seems to start fading

Oh, how am I now to survive as a heart divided

Between the very hands that made me whole?

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time

Wasted on hating, when love’s what should’ve made you blind

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time

Wasted on hating, when love’s what should’ve made you blind

You can only forgive so much

Before you give up because there’s no trust

At least you tried and that’s just fine

But how the hell do I know I’m not next in line?

It’s not my fault, then why am I

In the middle of this burning bridge?

Tell me, oh, how am I now to survive as a heart divided

Between the very hands that made me whole?

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time

Wasted on hating, when love’s what should’ve made you blind

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time

Wasted on hating, when love’s what should’ve made you blind

I am the one who suffers from your bullshit

I’m the one who suffers

My world divided by the hands that made me whole
