Tattoos: blood runs from my skin
Carve my rotten flesh with sin, the pollution sets my mind free
Becoming darker as I bleed
Mourning the image of a lost pariah
Decimate the desolate empire
Burning inside with a hatred
That's fueling all the demons that I deal with
Cursed to bear the weight of the voids
I create as I destroy
That must explain the distance I feel
My soul is separated from my body so Is my will
To fight for a land of the dying
The flames inside are not subsiding
So break and burn everything
Set ablaze all of your mistakes
I feel no empathy for your wounds
The light will begin to vanish
When darkness consumes
Me from the inside out
Coughing up blood as I spit my soul out
God the pain is unbearable
Why can't I have control?
Razorwire formed by anxiety is slowly killing me
Cutting and carving deeper in my skin
Lacerating my flesh to let the darkness in
Misery has left it's Mark upon me
If only there was a way to turn back time so I could transcend to a new life
Where my body was undamaged and saved
From the venom that's in my veins
Then maybe I would have hope
Instead of waiting for Dawn lost within mourning for life's that should have prolonged
Yet they all die
And we all fade
We have no lives
So let's embrace
When we all die
When we all fade
Let's bow our heads
Kneel and pray
God how many will you take away?
