Mesh - Petrified (Acoustic)

You're the breath in us too You're the test of what's true You're the one that stops them You become the problem It's just a different side Of the many walls in your mind The walls with secret panels Built with knives and hammers Petrified By what you've done - and you've just begun I hope you get your way But what a price to pay Petrified By what you've done - and you've just begun I hope you get your way But what a price to pay You're the pain I go through To get to where I need to You're the retribution A sordid institution It's just a different way Of "saving face", as you say A face that spares no malice That drinks the poisoned chalice (repeat chorus) You take the falling rain You make the sun that dried it You shoulder all the blame You've got the strength to hide it Led emotion to the door Remind me who you were before (Petrified) You are the wheels in motion A wave of self-promotion You beat a different drum The rhythm's strong, but no fun You are the vengeful hand That tasted sweet, but so bland You are my one protection But you try to hard to get them (repeat chorus) You take the falling rain You make the sun that dried it You shoulder all the blame You've got the strength to hide it Led emotion to the door Remind me who you were before (repeat chorus) (Petrified) What a price to pay What a price to pay
