In the desperate endeavor
to save myself forever
i've drowned in the lies purged from the pits
of my wit
and my lips
no longer whisper
the lullabies of ether
I lie in an insomniacs dream
and hallucinate my life flowing from the streams
of my heart, a bloody art
one would call far from my start
but no closer to the line of finish
and these feelings never diminish
I feel the weight of my sins upon thy shoulders
and she sings this could all be over..
sometimes she escapes me
but I can't forget the cold nights when we
held each other, that was all we had
with shaking arms, my own voice just as bad
i've sold my soul to a devil unknown
stripped myself from skin to bone
I weep as she guides my hand,
remember that she never did give a damn
