Whitewashed Tomb

Your illusion of kindness
The delusion that you've healed to move on
Virtue signaling your reasons
But avoidance is a symptom of the unresolved
Unresolved
Are you even aware of what is truly at play?
(Are you even aware)
Are you able to see (are you able to see)
The parts of you that wither away?

Can't you see, you're hiding from something
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart

The story within is forgery
That does not match what those close to you see
But the story on the outside
Is painted elegantly so that you can hide
You're a whitewashed tomb
(A whitewashed tomb)
I'd never want to be like you

Can't you see, you're hiding from something
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness of your heart

Silently waiting while slowly decaying
Uphold appearance while sorrow
Sorrow awaits
Sorrow awaits

Coward
You're a whitewashed tomb
Coward
I'd never want to be like you
Redemption will never look the way you want it to
And we will never be good enough to see your truth
But how could vibrant life fit within your view?
Encased in fools gold but full of doom

I know who sits behind the curtain now
My mirror image

Can't you see, you're hiding from something
Avoiding the hurt
Avoiding the darkness, the darkness of your heart
Darkness of your heart

Sorrow awaits
A whitewashed tomb
