With every breath I take, I shed the chains that bind,
Baptized in pain, embrace the power I find.
The hurt might linger, but I won't be held back,
I'll forge my own path, leaving footprints on their tracks.
Blood stains on the battleground, won’t make me wither
Pain and hurt tried their best, but I won’t surrender
I can’t believe this is actually happening
Quivering screams as my heart bleeds
I thought this was forever and now I can’t escape
Be careful what you wish for in this fucking life
My wires going crossed, my head put in a vice
Bury me alive with cold hearted spite
Taken from this Knife that you put in my back
You have control I want it back
Barely holding on as my body screams for life
Spirit has now separated from this lost fight
Some things really are too good to be true
Life is just misery waiting to creep up on you
The dead forget you quickly as they dig their own graves
The dead forget you quickly as they forget their own names
The dead forget you quickly as they slowly rot away
Pleasure has a price and the cost is your life
Life so selfish mind so restless
Pleasure is a price and you pay with your life
Life so selfish mind so restless
I’m an anomaly in the eyes of society
I’ve become a monstrosity, with no boundaries
I’ve become a monstrosity, with no fucking boundaries
Rage and violence are my soul as I shoot up my daily dose
God please kill me, I want to forget
End it all now and sew up this regret
Come with me and experience what death feels like
Cause I’m still alive and there I am alone in my surroundings
The dead forget you quickly and I wish I could join them
The dead forget you quickly and I can’t return from this
The dead forget you quickly and I wish I could join them
The dead forget you quickly, the dead forget you quick
Take the shot light the match blow me away
Kill me slowly kill me softly like you do each day
Why can I never forget you?
You’re the virus in my life that I can never fucking shake
You’re the virus in my life that will always stick to me
That will always stick to me…
