As I Lay Dying - Whitewashed Tomb Lyrics

As I Lay Dying - Whitewashed Tomb Lyrics 

Your illusion of kindness

The delusion that you've healed to move on

Virtue signaling your reasons

But avoidance is a symptom of the unresolved

Unresolved

Are you even aware of what is truly at play?

(Are you even aware)

Are you able to see (are you able to see)

The parts of you that wither away?

Can't you see, you're hiding from something

Avoid the hurt

Avoiding the darkness of your heart

The story within is forgery

That does not match what those close to you see

But the story is on the outside

Is painted elegantly so that you can hide

You're a whitewashed tomb

(A whitewashed tomb)

I would never want to be like you

Can't you see, you're hiding from something

Avoid the hurt

Avoiding the darkness of your heart

Silently waiting while slowly decaying

Uphold appearance while sorrow

Sorrow awaits

Sorrow awaits

Coward

You're a whitewashed tomb

Coward

I would never want to be like you

Redemption will never look the way you want it to

And we will never be good enough to see your truth

But how could vibrant life fit within your view?

Encased in fools gold but full of doom

I know who sits behind the curtain now

My mirror image

Can't you see, you're hiding from something

Avoid the hurt

Avoiding the darkness, the darkness of your heart

Darkness of your heart

Sorrow awaits

A whitewashed tomb
