Senses Fail - Pull the Thorns from Your Heart lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

And I don't want to be afraid of this life anymore

I don't want to be suffocated by the weight

Who was that person I was pretendin’ to be?

Silent compassion break these chains of misery

Scared to death of bein’ vulnerable

So I did everythin’ I could to put the walls up

I locked myself and held myself in a cell of shame

Screamin’ for a fuckin’ change

(Chorus)

Pull the thorns from your heart x 2

(Verse)

I tried so hard to run away from the truth

I fuckin’ hated myself so I abused

My soul, my heart, my body

For the sexuality I didn't choose

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Devastated by shame

I was so entrenched in pain

I found that hell

Is the absence to lovin’ self

(Verse)

I've been lookin’ for a pearl this whole time

It's been right in my chest

I went divin’ to the depths of hell once

But I only found death

And it said to me : "Don't be afraid of your end

People be authentic

Be brave enough to love again"

They said:

[“Pull the thorns from your heart

To wander in the fields of flowers”] x 3

Pull the thorns from your heart

(Verse)

Give up a little

Gain a little piece

Empty yourself

Become eternity

[I will not die

I will not die in shame] x 2
