lyrics

I want to challenge, challenge myself to be more than words
To stick flesh to this vision
To put flesh to this vision
Self indulgence
It runs deep in our roots
Stagnation of spirit and will
My inability serves as proof

Can you break it through?
Can you break it through to me?

These words are drowned
Inaccurate and unfounded
Falling from my mouth
And crashing down to the ground
Do you know what a word can do?
Do you know what your words can do?

Break through?
Can you break it through?
Can you break it through?
Can you break it through?
And you try

A tongue that will not express
A mentality that does not address
A conscience that can not confess
The fallacy in foundation
Not a change in your expression
Convenience is hard to break
So hard to break!

Can you break it through?
Break. Break it through?
Can you break it through?
Break through to me?
But I'll try

The torch of function
Burns deep inside
I feel it burn
And it reconfirms
That I'm alive!
And it shines
It shines
Let it shine
