A dissident, a stow away
Tried to run from a choice he made
A shattered mind, a prison stay
Frightened eyes on a withered face
It trickles down and channels through
Exposing me, exposing you

You still hold on to
The hand that guides you through
Release it

A broken promise, an empty name
Jaded eyes don't see the same
Naked time, pissed away
Left to rest in an early grave
It trickles down and channels through
It tarnished me, it tarnished you

You still hold on to
The hand that guides you through
Release it
