Slaves (USA)
As The Light Cracks The Foundation
[Intro]
I'm fighting from the fire again
The whole time I was spread beneath the ashes
I'd rather leave, but if we had to go back
I'd take all of you

[Verse 1]
Maybe my foundation was poured to be cracked open
I watched the light find its way in
Maybe my life was meant to be tested
How else will you learn from me failing?

[Chorus]
I wanna step out of your shadow
But when I do, there's no sunlight at all
Pressed against the wall, we can't stop breaking
These nights, they never fail to show us who we are

[Verse 2]
I can't wait to be born again, I belong here
I was meant to be condemned for your fears
Sometimes you need to look down to find faith again
I'd rather see you die than watch you choke
I'd rather see you die than watch you hurt

[Chorus]
I wanna step out of your shadow
But when I do, there's no sunlight at all
Pressed against the wall, we can't stop breaking
These nights, they never fail to show us who we are
[Bridge]
I wanna step out of your shadow
But when I do, there's no sunlight at all (Pull me out)
Pressed against the wall, we can't stop breaking
These nights, they never fail to show us who we are

[Outro]
We will sit down
We will sit down underneath your fire
Gotta let me down
We will sit down underneath my fire
