lyrics

For its freedom and its disloyalty
My own work intimidates me
All I’ve done with a dangerous imagination
Dominoing, through days barely awake
Turned my attention back at me
Fiending though nothing is distracting enough
It embodies me so I call it myself backfiring

A new acid burns my heart
Withdrawn, I sleep in my thoughts
In the courtyard of relics
Beyond your pawn’s ambition
I lend my voice
Possessed my throat open miming strong emotion
I self-destruct

Is this hurt really mine?
I brought the ethereal to terrify
Melting smiles
Wrapping it’s arms over my chest
Latched to my heart, jumping til it hung itself
I tried to be distracted but nothing could mask it
Happiness hanging in the balance
Lost in the longest instant

A restless soul seeking haven
A root for my passion
That craves and rages as much as I do
Give it what it needs
Questioning what I could see through my tears
Black as blood, disguised as love

Caught up in fantasy of who I’d be if I were ever happy
Won’t she stay with me
Blackness gathering take me apart
Feed me to the dark
Gruesome affection, set me free
Consuming all I know to be
My truth bleeds through
Is this hurt really mine?
Because it hurts to my heart
I brought the ethereal to terrify

A new acid burns my heart
Withdrawn, I sleep in my thoughts
In the courtyard of relics
Beyond your pawn’s ambition
I lend my voice
Possessed my throat open miming strong emotion
I self-destruct

Is this hurt really mine?
I brought the ethereal to terrify
Melting smiles
Wrapping it’s arms over my chest
Latched to my heart, jumping til it hung itself
I tried to be distracted but nothing could mask it
Happiness hanging in the balance
Lost in the longest instant
