lyrics

I curse the bones of this frail host
To a fate much worse than death
A lost cause without much heart
Oh, please don’t grieve this absence
(Burn)

So undeserving, so unfortunate, so worthless
Drowning in a sea of my own fears
Hoping a tide will change the current

Every nights feels so long, I’m restless
Dark cloud arrangements
Not a sight of sun in years

Distilled inside of this hatred
Loathing and empty
A nightmare restored

Reveal to everyone who I’ve become
My reflection is an echo of who I was
Chain my soul to the mortar
Leave me behind with my hopes and desires

Free me from your conscience thoughts
You remember just an echo of who I was
Run, don’t spare me your empathy
Just twist the knife, leave me behind
So I can finally sleep

My eyes are finally shut
But will you let me rest in peace

I lived a soulless existence
(existence)
Despair is all that I had left
(had left)

I lived a soulless existence
I deserve the pain I am burdened with
You have to let me go
You’re better off all alone

Run, don’t spare me your empathy
Twist the knife, just let me die
So I can finally sleep

My eyes are finally shut
But will you let me rest in peace
I deserve all of this pain
But you should be set free

I curse the bones of this frail host
To a fate much worse than death
A lost cause without much heart
Oh, please don’t grieve this absence
(Burn)
