Twenty-Three lyrics

Set out to find a love, to live a life And excess of this place to harm you Like all the rest of those sent here before you And never allow the burdens To stay awake and clean and pure But somehow, somewhere along the way A scar was sown inside of you Life pushed on and you noticed that the scars were too many To count and let go because hate is part of you And you pray and bed that someday you'd escape And you thought it was an isolated thing until So what happened to the innocent face you once knew? Now it's just a reflection of this place What if I told you that you didn't have to stay? What if you heard that there was a better way? What if I told you that peace is real? Would you come home if you knew the way?
