Conquered, Cryptic, and Cold

Conquered, cryptic, and cold I never knew what this all meant And still my bones feel so old And my feet aren’t getting wet They’re dry From all the lies I cry, I try And I just can’t run away I know I know it shows I’m low, a foe And I just can’t run away Understand me, I’m gone And tears flow off my face like rain But I know I’ve done nothing wrong Still my eyes are numb from the pain They’re dry From all the lies I cry, I try And I just can’t run away I know I know it shows I’m low, a foe And I just can’t run away Do me the honor Of being yourself Tonight Put me in focus Tell me it will be Alright Tonight it’s alright Tonight I’m fine Tonight I will fight Tonight is all mine I’m dry From all the lies I cry, I try And I just can’t run away I know I know it shows I’m low, a foe And I just can’t run away I’m here to stay Unfortunately This is the end for me See I want to be But I’m already free
