Who dares to call me armor-bearer? I've denied them all
Who said I was the freedom-fighter? I'm a slave to comfort
But there's no rest for the Son of Man, and I know this sleep is stolen
And courage flees because I let my convictions go for way too cheap
Leaning into emptiness
All I traded you for, becoming shadow
You keep calling me; the longing in your voice, unwavering
To replace everything I gave up
Avoid the watchtower light of searching eyes
The pressure paralyzes
How can I expect to blaze the trail
When I'm trying to avoid being seen taking flight
Show me the easiest way out
Whatever is popular will do just fine
Promise me again, the end is worth the pain at hand
To fly the flag, to bear the crown
To wield the torch and burn it all down
You keep calling me... To set my heart on fire again
