Redemption....is A Cold Body

Hell Within

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
