[Verse 1] In poisoned soil I hide, A root beneath the stone, They call me by their whispers, But the guilt is mine alone. I am the hand that fed them, The poison they adore, SO MANY FALL!!! Because of me… and still they ask for more. [Pre-Chorus] Every vial a dagger, Every dose a chain, But in my heart I’m screaming, I will turn this pain. [Chorus] I WAIT!!! Like the seed awaits the spring, BOUND IN CHAINS! Yet dreaming still to bloom. I WAIT!!! Though the poison stains my skin, HOPE IS THE THORN! That cuts the dark in two. [Verse 2] I’ve watched them lose their faces, Addicted to my hand, I AM TO BLAME!!! For every ghost that walks this land. But I must change the current, I must invert the tide, A secret antitoxin, The truth I cannot hide. [Pre-Chorus] Every lie I whisper, Every glance I feign, Is part of my rebellion, I must break their reign. [Chorus] I WAIT!!! Like the seed awaits the spring, BOUND IN CHAINS! Yet dreaming still to bloom. I WAIT!!! Though the poison stains my skin, HOPE IS THE THORN! That cuts the dark in two. [Bridge] I AM THE CURSE! And yet I am the cure. I AM THE WOUND! But I will still endure. [Final Chorus] I WAIT!!! Like the seed awaits the spring, BENEATH THE STORM! A flower learns to rise. I WAIT!!! Though my guilt is carved within, HOPE IS THE THORN! That tears apart the skies!
