In The Absence Of Fire

Hell Within

You've got a heart like a loaded gun
 Shed the skin and spare your eyes from what I've done
 So You've got a game to play?
 The deck is stacked so I'll walk away
 I'm haunted by my lust for your taste
 Cutting myself feels right
 Sometimes I don't know if I'm alive
 A siren haunting once silent shores
 Weighted me down in the brine
 I'd toss the key to my own shackles
 To taste your lips just one last time
 Blind men can't stare in wonder
 Her snaking hips will pull you under
 A burning kiss tastes of gasoline
 Well on my way to the pyre
 Just strike the match, my love
 I'd die just to burn in your fire
 In the absence of your fire...
 The blackest waves to take my ship away
 The spiraling decay of all we had
 My angel, tie my noose of blackened halos
 With every single breath
 I die a little more
 Cover my mouth
 Sink your teeth in
 I'll still love you blindly
 Clawing at the walls that cage me
 Why couldn't you just forgive me?
 I know your hate
 I've been there
 It gets no better with every passing day
