Line Up The Troops

There is a quote that tells us just how these things would be
"You can show someone to love but you can't make them see"
when i grabbed you by the reigns
and did what i had to do
i could barely bring myself to
i was deadened through and through

we're in this together, thrown between what i know
the callous, the pointless, those sick of it all
so many eyes that no longer stare back
those who had visions and voices that crack
their idea of righteousness was always one of yours
now an army of worthless come to knock on your door

i declined any comment
can't perceive the impossible
you're dreaming up shadows
your convictions are straw
you toppled my temple
while i gagged on resolve

i'm worthless and i've always been waiting
on the edge of you telling me so
so worthless yet i can't find the hole
i'm supposed to crawl into, fulfilling my role

within a stone's throw of your memory comes the reminder
that i'm too worthless for you
