Stripped Away Lyrics by Instilled In Me

The Shape of Life

2019

Bastardize this fragile design
You take and you take until there is nothing left
Like locus you came and stripped away
The very essence we held dear
And like it never was there, any recognition has disappeared
So tell me what’s left when our backs are pushed up against the walls you’ve built
Seeping in, the poison rushes through every limb
Disintegrate and fall apart
Slowly eat away, destroy the heart
Think you’ve got me under your thumb
Feels more like your grip has come undone
What a mess you’ve made
Looks like this hand's been played
Disguise and despise
In the shadows we wait until moon light
These words will ring true
We were better off before you
Change course with no remorse
Stuck with the memories
Left daydreaming
Sleepwalking is all I do these days
I look at it now
Like it was never here
Dwelling on the past will only bring me fear
I want what I can’t have
Bring me back to the place that I held dear
Raise it from the ashes, take this sight away
Bring me back to the place that I held dear
Bring me back to yesterday
Is today the day we will go our separate ways?
Never return
Light the match and let the bridge burn
Should we just sever the tie
And just go our separate ways
Can we survive?
To get beyond our differences
If we are to survive
Strengthen the mould
Make use of the strengths we hold
Make way for change
Have you heard the news today?
We don’t have much time
Time to wake up, to live in harmony
I believe there’s more to gain
From love than there is hate
We will learn more
Than we take from
Each other if we live this way
