[Verse 1] I was alone, that's how you found me I was afraid, that made it easy I was wounded, you said you'd heal me I was blinded, and you deceived me You said that love it was the key And that resonated with me Said in the dark you'd help me see And from my pain you'd set me free I breathed you in, body and blood Into my heart I sewed your seed When we were crawling through the mud I learned to follow where you lead I began to notice something wrong a trail of pain beside your path the fucking judgement in your song the condemnation in your wrath [Chorus] This isn’t anger, it’s love too big to keep behind your gates You told us how to rise above But your words were chained to weights And if I walked away from everything It wasn’t out of spite I just couldn’t keep pretending That your judgement was the light [Verse 2] You taught us not to trust ourselves To fear the questions in our minds Said doubt was born from something evil So we kept falling back in line You drew the borders around mercy Decided who deserved your grace And every soul that did not mirror you You called damned and kept your pace I watched you torment the broken I watched you crush them under weight Watched people break beneath your pressure Still convinced that it was faith And somewhere underneath the noise Beneath the fear and all the loss I heard a voice I thought had died Say love should never come at such a cost [Chorus] This isn’t anger, it’s love too big to keep behind your gates You told us how to rise above But your words were chained to weights And if I walked away from everything It wasn’t out of spite I just couldn’t keep pretending That your judgement was the light [Musical Interlude] [Chorus] This isn’t anger, it’s love too big to keep behind your gates You told us how to rise above But your words were chained to weights And if I walked away from everything It wasn’t out of spite I just couldn’t keep pretending That your judgement was the light [Post Chorus] You shouted verses Pointed fingers Like holy curses your words still linger breaking hearts and driving tears the pain you cause year after year I'll say it plain Make myself clear That I don't hate you I dont fear You taught us hate Not from above I had to leave Not out of anger... out of love
