Sentenced To Burn

Forced into submission
Separate from those I love
You know its not safe here
Ashes surrounding skin and bone
Suffer in silence all alone

How do you expect me to believe
That everything will be alright for me
When I'm shackled to the memories of a corpse
Shower me in dirt
Buried in an unmarked grave
They won't remember my name
They wont remember my face

Death awaits a hopeful embrace
Cold to the touch

Promise me heaven
Then take it all away
What have I done to deserve all this pain
Watch me rot
Watch me decay
Fade into darkness
Slowly slip away
Burn me at both ends
Starring death In the face
Easily forgotten
Easily replaced

Forced into submission
Separate from those I love
Sentenced to fucking burn
Fill the void in the sky
Fill the hole in your mind
Redemption no longer in sight

I still believe
That god himself gave up on me
Long before I had a chance to free myself from misery
Bound by chains for eternity
Please set me free

Oh god if you can hear me
End this suffering
My redemption was found at the end of a rope
And I'm still fucking swinging
