As the Light Cracks the Foundation - Slaves

I’m fighting from the fire again

The whole time I was spread beneath the ashes

I’d rather leave, but if we had to go back

I’d take all of you

Maybe my foundation was poured to be cracked open

I watched the light find its way in

Maybe my life was meant to be tested

How else will you learn from me failing?

I wanna step out of your shadow

But when I do, there’s no sunlight at all

Pressed against the wall, we can’t stop breaking

These nights, they never fail to show us who we are

I can’t wait to be born again, I belong here

I was meant to be condemned for your fears

Sometimes you need to look down to find faith again

I’d rather see you die than watch you choke

I’d rather see you die than watch you hurt

I wanna step out of your shadow

But when I do, there’s no sunlight at all

Pressed against the wall, we can’t stop breaking

These nights, they never fail to show us who we are
