Lyrics:

I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break
Break

I'm so sick infected with where I live
Let me live without this empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears

I'm so sick infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

Hear it
I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now

Hear it
I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound

You sink into my clothes
This invasion makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick

I'm so sick infected with where I live
Let me live without this empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so...
I'm so sick

I'm so sick infected with where I live
Let me live without this empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)

The vocalist Lacey Sturm had strong thoughts of killing herself before she ended up in a church and became a Christian.

Recently I had Halestorm's debut opener as Song of the day. Now I have the same thing from Flyleaf.

I'm glad the screams are back, they were muted on YouTube about a year ago.

Probably the first CCM song including female lead vocalist screaming.

54 points -> 5+ stars

I like much heavier music but this song its not my cup of tea.

⭐⭐⭐½

[BiteUrLip]

The chorus is excellent but argh, the verses! Can't get into them. It is an angry song and a brave selection from Rekko though.

2½ stars.

[jaky]

It sounds desperate SOS song. It is full of emotion. Musically, I don't like it.

2½ stars (26p)
