Tiny Weapons - Madina Lake

Promised forever that would never come

It was a lesson that I wished I’d never had to learn

If I could start again

I’d grow up broken and the fix was in

Like tiny weapons those promises were poisonous

Wish I could start again

But you become the safest place I could hide my words in

And I would understand you

Because you were perfect front to back and I would fly my red flags

And you would understand them

I’ve carried it all, all of this way

I’m letting it go and I beg you to stay

I’ve carried it all, if you walk away

No cushion to stall my plummeting from your grace

My plummeting from your grace

But I’ve carried it all this way

I’ve carried it all this way

I’ve carried it all this way

(You can only see the things I want you to see, I want)

I’ve carried it all this way

(You only see what I want you to see, I want)

I’ve carried it all this way

I’ve carried it all, all of this way

The useless emotion is the deadliest weight

I’ve carried it all I’ve never complained

Afraid to admit the enemy lives in me

Keep it cool now buddy, you’ll be ok

This is the end of suffering

Keep it cool now buddy, make no mistake

Your assassin’s on the way

Cool now buddy, you’ll be ok

This is the end of suffering

Keep it cool now buddy, make no mistake

Your assassin’s on the way

I’ve carried it all, all of this way

Last breath of emotion as it’s drowning in pain

I’ve carried it all, the deadliest weight

Becomes an assassin with a hit out on me

I’ve carried it all, a lifetime of pain

I’ve gotta let go because it’s killing me… go

Words are bullets from a liars face, little tiny weapons

And I’m at war with the suffering, my assassin’s coming

It’s hard to find the enemy with tiny weapons underneath

Assassin’s face looks just like me… am I home?

It’s hard to find the enemy with tiny weapons under me

The assassin’s face looks just like me… am I home?

I’ve got a liar in me and that liar is armed to the teeth

I wished that I’d learn but I’ll never learn

I’ve got a liar in me and that liar’s controlling the wheel

I wish that he’d turn but he’ll never turn

He’s setting the fires for me to put out

He’s dark and he craves and he’s foaming at the mouth

He’s on his way out

He’s kicking and screaming and bleeds from the mouth

Choking on everything falling apart

He’s on his way… on his way out

I’m letting it go, it pours out of me

It slashes and burns as I just try to breathe

It’s letting me go, it burns and it bleeds but I’m holding the strength

The strength that you gave me

I’ve carried it all this way

I’ve carried it all this way

I’ve carried it all this way

I’ve carried it all this way

But I gotta know, at the end of this road

Passed the disasters and all of the holes

I gotta know when the torture is through

That this bridge that I’m building’s a bridge back to you

I gotta know, at the end of this road

Passed the disasters and all of the holes

I gotta know when the torture is through

This bridge that I’ll build is a bridge back to you
