Redemption....is A Cold Body

Redemption... is a cold body.

Burned in the image of my everlasting torment

(scarred my flesh)

Murderer staked my heart

I'm better off dead than believing

That you could keep

Or want so blindly

A twisted mind

Trapped in a needled body

I keep these etchings on my wall

To remind me of what you've taken

Left me adrift for endless days

In a sea of my past addictions

Would you fix your image

In the reflection of my polished casket?

Or shed a single tear for a hopeless life ended abruptly?

I screamed to deaf ears

It didn't fucking matter

Drained white from empty words

Carved in the heart you shattered

You failed me...

[Chorus]

Killer

Murderer

Deny me of closure

These scars won't heal over

Rusted frames

All I had

Pictures of what was

I give to the flames

Watch you burn

Pick up your pieces and burn them all again

The smoldering ash

Embers of the past

Shadows unearthed your truest form

The heights of filth astound me

I cleansed myself of what's not real

I'd die just to pull you from me

Consumed inside

Corroded spirit

Words sear my flesh

Spit from the tongues of liars

Stretch the skin

Constricted breath

Face down in your world of mirrors

[Chorus]

The night wore on

In time I saw the sun

Familiar voice elusive

Everything you said rang hollow

We've read this story once

The end... a toppled kingdom

"I'll tell another lie and you'll believe me."

I'm not afraid to die

I'm just barely breathing

Crushed brittle bones to dust

When will we heed the lessons?

Hell is full

She walks the earth

Face down in your world of mirrors
