You saw right through my eyes

Piercingly

Silent screams from the depths of my being

A wounded beast left to bleed out

Writhing in pain yet disavowed

Swallow the lies I feed

I only aim to mislead

This mask is slipping

Ever so tellingly

Sorrow calls

For all my sins it reaps

I'd fall to my knees but I fear it would come for me

Again

A complacent accomplice

Spare me your salvation

I spit out the words

And tore out all the pages

We're all martyrs left to bleed out

Writhing in pain

Yet disavowed

Sorrow calls

For all my sins it reaps

I'd fall to my knees but I fear it would come for me

Again

Burning hands cover the world from me

I swallowed my pride

But inside it's killing me

My beating heart is a lie

But I am the effigy

A soul forever displaced

Long lost and screaming

From the depths of obscurity

To the height of agony

I have found nothing to change

There is no saving grace

The colours all look the same

There is nothing within the flames

No lesson, no pain

Empty as the day

Disavow me

Sorrow calls

For all my sins it reaps

I'd fall to my knees but I fear it would come for me

Again

Burning hands cover the world from me

I swallowed my pride

But inside it's killing me
