[Intro]
Align yourself
With the freedmen
How can you deny this ground
You sold your flesh
Tell yourself that you're a free man
Tear your vestments the slave becomes the crown
[Pre-Verse 1]
The thirst filled us the worst years of
Birth and death were held by threads
[Verse 1]
The turning set about the pages saw escape
The filth of years beneath our fingers washed away
Then gold within our ears drew figures and erased
The wretched lost their way; they're standing here today
Resist with wounded eyes, wide awake but dead inside
[Chorus]
You're breaking my heart; You're breaking my heart
Standing here the audience will tear me all apart
The hardened answers you planned fell apart
So blanket me, so you can see, you've broken my heart

You're breaking my heart; You're breaking my heart
Standing here the audience will tear me all apart
The hardened answers you planned fell apart
So blanket me, so you can see, you've broken my heart
