My Redemption
This lonely forsaken creature is worshiped in the labyrinth of my heart
He sits on his cheap framed throne with his faceless glare, playing God
He is the masochist inside of the mirror
He made me rip out my own eyes, so I could see clearer
I have died a thousand times
It made me numb to fear
Possessive fingers of quicksilver strain
Stroke my nerves in my sleep
I no longer awaken feeling relentless pain
I swear I will paint the walls with this mortality if I must watch one more of them burn
If your only wish is crucifixion
All I can say is wait your turn
The nails are ripping into the skin again
I tear myself down from my execution
Bleeding feet, be my traveling companions
My only existing sin is faking a smile
If they wont let me in the gates, then I would rather live in exile
Hallowed be thy name
Meaningless torture be thy shame
Paranoid sanctuary
Bear the weight of the hollow world
Swallow all that you cannot carry
I feel the excruciation within
You finish yourself and inhale unearthly sin
Are you all really just slaves to yourselves?
Lonely forsaken creature..
Faceless glare..playing God..
Masochist in the mirror..
Rip out my eyes..die a thousand times..
I've become numb to fear
