The words you've spoken
The truths we know
One set contrasts the other
Like blood in white snow
The mirror lies broken
I've glimpsed what you are
Is there hope in such anger
Or have I taken this too far?*
I've spent so much time
Crossing all these blurred gray lines.
Never knew where I was running.
Couldn't see what I was becoming.
Friends and foes, we've all abandoned.
On life's stage we're all just stand-ins.
So who's accountable for this wreck?
It's hard to shrug when the shit you're in is up to your neck.
Good luck was never meant for me,
Good riddance suits me well,
Cashed in my sin, my will and deeds,
For a train ride through this hell.
My transgressions catch up to me.
An opaque conscience calls for clarity.
Hold me, scold me, crumple and unfold me.
Cries for help, they bring the prey in near.
What can you do for me?
Hold me, scold me, crumple and unfold me.
The Hyde behind the glossy eyes revealed.
What have I done to you?
My transgressions catch up to me.
An opaque conscience calls for clarity.
Hold me, scold me, crumple and unfold me.
Cries for help, they bring the prey in near.
What can you do for me?
Hold me, scold me, crumple and unfold me.
The Hyde behind the glossy eyes revealed.
What have I done to you?
So who's to blame for what you see?
A self-serving fuck full of apathy
A shell of the man you once were,
A loathsome and useless cur.
The ink has set, so save your breath, it's done.
When each of us has lost it all, tell me, who has won?
When each of us have lost it all, what have we done?
We settled the score. Death in the door. With a gun.
My transgressions catch up to me.
An opaque conscience calls for clarity
The skeletons in my closet
Were once beautiful things.
They wept for the sake of my soul
As I tore off their wings.
Angels never die
Such a softly spoken lie
Committed by my hands
What I now see with my eyes.
Get yourself away,
Please just stay away,
Get yourself away,
Stay the fuck away from me.
