Quoth the Raven - Illuminate Lyrics

Your heart still beats, but you're dead to me
You left me for dead but the tide couldn't finish me

Standing at the shore, but I don't see the lighthouse

You say you're a lighthouse but your lights gone out
I had to jump ship but I swear I won't drown
I'll find my way to shore, then I'll shine a light
For all those alike because your lantern only lights the inside
Your heart still beats, but you're dead to me
You left me for dead, but the tide couldn't finish me

I'll do what I have to get this through to you
I am who I am, I'll stand where I stand
I'll illuminate

Say you're a martyr, but you've never given your life
And when push comes to shove you always back down from the fight
I called you my brother and my best friend
Now the knifes in my back I defended you with
You know that they say a double minded man is wicked in all of his ways

I'll do what I have to get this through to you
I am who I am, I'll stand where I stand
I'll do what it takes, I'm proving to you
I refuse to be fake and refuse to break

You're a snake in the grass
You're a fake in my way
So take off your mask and end this masquerade

Now I'm standing at the shore, but I'm still not sure
If you were ever really the lighthouse or the storm

I was always your lighthouse
When you were lost at sea
But when I was drowning
You were nowhere to be seen

I'll do what I have to get this through to you
I am who I am, I'll stand where I stand
I'll do what it takes
I'm proving to you
I refuse to be fake and refuse to break
And I won't change
I'll illuminate
