Advents (New York City) - White Flag

Too much confusion inside your head
You’re fighting wars that I've already ended
Your hesitation has been with you every step
When no one else was
And you’re what's left
(Contempt)
Wearing you down everyday
(Contempt)
The feeling never goes away
(Contempt)
You don't trust anyone but your contempt

Show me your teeth
Show me your fearless heart
You wanna believe in heroes
Because you’re broken
But you were chosen
To see the world through the bullet holes

So show me your teeth
Show me your fearless heart
You wanna believe in heroes
Because you’re broken
But you were chosen
To see the world through the bullet holes

Too many signs of the hell that you’ve been through
When no one can know how to reach you
The mirror looks back with dread
(It's a threat)
It never ends
And you’re what's left
(Contempt)
Wearing you down everyday
(Contempt)
The feeling never goes away
(Contempt)
You don't trust anyone but your contempt

So show me your teeth
Show me your fearless heart
You wanna believe in heroes
Because you’re broken
But you were chosen
To see the world through the bullet holes
And yet behind that fear and
Anger there's still love
Because you’re broken
But you were chosen
To see the world through the bullet holes

Too many signs of the hell that you’ve been through
Nobody knows how to reach you
The white flag is saying
You've already withdrew
But you know that it's not true

So show me your teeth
Show me your fearless heart
You wanna believe in heroes
Because you’re broken
But you were chosen
To see the world through the bullet holes
And yet behind that fear and
Anger there's still love
Because you’re broken
But you were chosen
To see the world through the bullet holes
