As I Lay Dying - Gatekeeper lyrics

You've lost touch
You've lost touch with the outcasts

Have you forgotten your own past?
Have you forgotten that your house
Is made of glass?
So while you're pointing your fingers
You are unable to use your hands
To help with solving
Solving real and present problems
'Cause we're appealing
And you've become too perfect to understand

You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair, yeah
Trying to keep others in despair

I don't want you to get dirty
Reaching down to a lowly creature
I don't want you to show mercy
And make me like you
Self-righteous preacher
Did you think you were the only one
The only one who held the keys?
Did you hope that your judgement would
Spread just like a disease?

You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Trying to keep others in despair

The self-importance of the moral elite
To think that their approval means anything
Yeah

So eager to capitalize
Capitalize on other people's pain
But when the healing begins
So quick to turn away have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten your own past?

You're a gatekeeper
Blocking the entrance to nowhere
You're a gatekeeper
Keeping others in despair
