Whitewashed Tomb

[Intro: Tim Lambesis]
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

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis]
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?

[Chorus 1: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis]
Can't you see you're hiding from something?
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]
The story within is forgery
That does not match what those close to you see
But the story on the outside
Is painted elegantly so that you can hide
You're a whitewashed tomb
(A whitewashed tomb)
I'd never want to be like you

[Chorus 2: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis]
Can't you see you're hiding from something?
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart
Silently waiting while slowly decaying
Uphold appearance while sorrow
Sorrow awaits
Sorrow awaits

[Guitar Solo: Phil Sgrosso]

[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]
Coward
You're a whitewashed tomb
Coward
I'd never want to be like you

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis]
I know who sits behind the curtain now
My mirror image

[Chorus 3: Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis]
Can't you see, you're hiding from something?
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness, the darkness of your heart
Darkness of your heart

[Outro: Tim Lambesis]
Sorrow awaits
A whitewashed tomb
