Affliction - This Is a Standoff

I should have listened to the sound of your voice and watched you cautiously

Pain and guilt won’t live here now you’re taken away from me

You left a note to remind all of us to push and carry on

And that’s why this ignorance will prove me I was wrong

I know you distraught conscience took your innocence away

I know your lease on life was sold indifferent we all paid

I finally found affliction couldn’t hurt

With all the things you pushed away

Punishing yourself just made it worse

And I can’t wait to live again

I never wanted anything, except relive what times I left you there

I should have met you by the wall disarranged inhaling iou’s

The thought of intervention pushed aside what made you lonely

We’re all adjusted by perceptions, twisted notions you’ve seen through

You put a wall around the very place you faded to

And you’re so berated with this visions every night

You really need someone to remind you it’s alright

I finally found affliction couldn’t hurt

With all the things you pushed away

Punishing yourself just made it worse

And I can’t wait to live again

I never wanted anything, except relive what times I left you there

And you’re so ocupated with this visions every night

You need someone to remind you it’s alright

I finally found affliction couldn’t hurt

Of all the things you pushed away

Punishing yourself just made it worse

And I can’t wait to live again

I never wanted anything, except relive what times I left you there
