Lyrics

I watch you weep (I watch you weep)
Tears upon your cheek
Your voice is shaking as you speak
I hear you complain (I hear you complain)
Your words heavy with pain
How you're always suffering

Carrying your crosses (Carrying crosses)
Counting your losses (Counting losses)
Waking from your nightmares (Waking from nightmares)
Trapped in a cage (Trapped and)
Waiting to be (Waiting)
To be saved

You pray to heal (You pray to heal)
The helplessness you feel
You no longer know what's real
The way you choose (The way you choose)
To tolerate abuse
You've grown accustomed to this tomb

You are carrying, carrying your crosses (Carrying crosses)
You are counting, counting your losses (Counting losses)
You are waking from your nightmares (Waking from all your nightmares)
You are trapped in a cage (Trapped and)
You are waiting (Waiting to be)
To be saved

You say you can't escape
Like a permanent stain
You are bound to this place

Carrying your crosses (You are carrying your crosses)
Counting your losses (You are counting your losses)
Waking from nightmares (You are waking from another nightmare)
Trapped in a cage (You are trapped)
Waiting to be (You are waiting)
To be saved
