Illumination
Tremble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comfort my fears, reality and gloom
You kill with lies you twist and I am in leave alone for dead
But I can see the poetry in how this ends
It's a crime you desecrate my mind
But I have learned and I am not so blind
To fall for that a photograth of you and I in white
I won't let you waste my life
I'm already done break your silence
Watch me like a phoenix fly
Rising like the sun in your darkness
I won't let you waste my life
I'm already done break your silence
Watch me like a phoenix fly
Rising like the sun
