Revenge Doesn'T Bleed

So, you stand there over me You breathe the cold, clean air Knowing that no one will ever see You killed the truth with lies They believed what you wanted them to believe You never really knew me The real me you did not see Kick some dirt in the ash Crush it down under your feet Again you try to hurt Again you try to bleed As you walk away That cold shiver in the warm summer breeze? That's it; yes turnaround, look around You know that it's me Let your mind play with the words The words you wanted to let free Let them stay locked in your head So part of you will never be free I'll be there when you least expect it I'll be there when you're about to fall asleep Something will move all by itself Some smell, some taste, some cold heat I'll drive you mad day by day, piece by piece I'll be around but I'll hang back I'll make sure you don't get any peace Revenge doesn't die with the flesh Revenge doesn't burn into ash Revenge doesn't bleed
