Blessed By A Broken Heart Lyrics

These are the darkest of times
Times when people reject acceptance and love for bitter judgment.

Where acceptance and love are cast aside for Bitter judgement
Instead of accepting and loving others, people are judging them harshly.

By broken spirits vomiting curses
People who are broken inside and filled with hate are cursing others.

To raise one self to greater heights
People are trying to feel superior by putting others down.

Relish in the mockeries that you've cast to your brother
Enjoying mocking your fellow human beings is a cruel and selfish act.

And gauge the cost of your respect
Evaluating how much respect you have based on how badly you treat others is a shallow act.

By the weight of a black heart
Using the weight of a blackened heart as a measure of respect shows a lack of empathy and compassion.

This selfishness will lay you in your casket.
Selfishness will lead you to a lonely and regrettable end.

Scourge my back with your forked tongue
Using a deceptive tongue to hurt others is a despicable act.

But the venom will only reach the surface
Hateful words may hurt at first, but they won't leave a lasting impact.

I won't be ruined by your hatred,
The singer won't let others' hatred ruin him.

Love accomplishes so much more
Love has a greater power to accomplish things than hate.

With every gash I gain I'll know your suffering
The singer knows that those who hurt others suffer just as much as their victims.

With broken thoughts And dagger eyes
Hateful people have warped minds and angry eyes.

What do you gain? When judging others by their struggles, only bringing more shame
Judging others for their struggles only brings more shame and suffering.

What do you gain? As deny the truth and cast down the hopeless ones
Denying the truth and belittling the hopeless only perpetuates suffering.

What do you gain? When you butcher flesh that's been tortured and beaten
Hurting those who are already suffering is a cruel and pointless act.

What do you gain? Tell me what do you gain
The singer challenges those who hurt others to consider what they truly gain from their actions.

When all you'll gain is a hardened heart, all you'll gain is a blackened heart
Hurtful actions only harden the heart and turn it black with hate.

Clinch harder on the trigger
Hateful people lash out even more when they feel threatened.

You're so quick to shed obscenities
Hateful people use curse words and other obscenities without thought or care.

Your throat is the open grave
The hateful words that spew from a person's mouth are like a grave for their own soul.

Exposing your many casualties.
Those who harm others are also harming themselves.

Fuelled by animosity, will your deeds get any better? NO
Hateful actions only breed more hate and won't lead to positive change.

How much longer will you bring me down?
The singer questions how long other people will continue to hurt him and bring him down emotionally.

Until you lift me up?
The singer wonders if those who hurt him will ever help him instead.

But you'll only lift me up so I'll reach the noose
The singer is aware that those who claim to help him will only lead him to his own destruction.
