All That We Have
Killswitch Engage [2013] Disarm The Descent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get into a well of
A tainted stain
Got the beating of that
Will we dig you
When will this end
It's coming unto the surface now
A lesson learned in life
Cast us the pirates
That plague your life
No one can, understand
Behind the silence within you
Something has got to kill
Forgiveness is all we have
When the healing goes on
Nothing else will give you
A peace of mind
He's been holding on to anger and hatred
The feeling that things will never change
It is to what we say
Thinking that no one could ever understand
All the pain that you hide
You're burning inside
To hold you down
Forgiveness is all we have
Are you willing to just let go
Nothing else will give you
A peace of mind
You can't blame yourself
You cannot lie
To think that you're the only one
You cannot hide ,
You cannot run
From what's been said and done
Forgiveness is all we have
Are you willing to just let go
Nothing else will give you
A peace of mind
