Revelation
Hed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are witnessing the falling of my pride
You are listening as a crumble from inside
Shhhh..
There are no secrets
only voices you haven't heard
There is no justice
only living what you've learned
Listen..
You can not use me
You can not fade me
You will never win

Chorus:
Tear a page from out my book,
take a second look,
steal away part of my life,
turn me out inside,
my sacrifice was not my own,
I was not alone,
I keep running from myself,
and getting nowhere

There is nothing I can say I haven't said
thank you for listening to these voices in my head
Shhhh..
This is my revelation
Lord, this is the end
this is my exodus
Oh lord, I'll break before I bend

You can not use me
You can not fade me
You will never win

Chorus:
Tear a page from out my book,
take a second look,
steal away part of my life,
turn me out inside,
my sacrifice was not my own,
I was not alone,
I keep running from myself,
and getting nowhere

Praying for one last breath
I am dying inside
you can't just walk away
you've got to swallow my pride
I slide my pain in you
it hurts, just like it feels
I take it out on you
and make this lie so real

Chorus:
Tear a page from out my book,
take a second look,
steal away part of my life,
turn me out inside,
my sacrifice was not my own,
I was not alone,
I just keep running from myself,
and getting nowhere





Getting nowhere..
