[Intro] [Verse 1] You're sleeping so sweetly behind paper walls I could tear through with just one finger All your beautiful lies arranged like dolls In rooms where the smoke still lingers I know where the seams are I know where the truth hides Do I wake you... or do I let you dream? [Chorus] Is it virtue to guide you through the breaking? Or is it violence dressed as love? To pull you from the comfortable aching Into a truth you're not dreaming of Tell me, tell me Who am I to shatter the glass? [Verse 2] The Socratic knife cuts so clean But the wound doesn't close You'd curse me for showing you what I've seen For pulling out the rose They say the truth will set you free But free to carry what weight? Do I honor you... or do I wait? [Chorus] Is it virtue to guide you through the breaking? Or is it violence dressed as love? To pull you from the comfortable aching Into a truth you're not dreaming of Tell me, tell me Who am I to shatter the glass? [Bridge] Maybe the kindest thing... Is to let you keep sleeping Your sovereignty... over your own deceiving [Chorus] Is it virtue to guide you through the breaking? Or is it violence dressed as love? To pull you from the comfortable aching Into a truth you're not dreaming of Tell me, tell me... [Outro] ...who am I to decide?
