Out of Ruin

I need to kill this feeling inside
Cut the cancer out of my life
Everything I have come to know
Has been destroyed
Ripped and torn

Here I stand
In the ashes of my world
You held the torch
And watched me burn

Your words are knives in my back
Your cold eyes seem to lack
Empathy, you're killing me
It's time I let you go

These lies go on cuts sink so deep
Wounds inflicted you soon shall reap
Our future once so bright
Now tarnished, hollow, weak

Day by day
I draw the line
Forcing me to choose a side
I feel as though I've lost my mind

Gone are the days
Forced to feed
On the truth you're bending
Lies on your tongue
Spewing forth
Rotting disposition
Up in the night
When you're gone
Fear is suffocating
Choke on the taste
Lack of faith
From your verminous tongue

Your words are knives in my back
Your cold eyes seem to lack
Empathy, you're killing me
It's time I let you go

I have escaped from the ashes of my world
You held the torch
But I refuse to burn

Ruins of a battered past
Won't leave me a broken man

Your words are knives in my back
Your cold eyes seem to lack
Empathy, you're killing me
It's time I let you go

Take your knives from my back
You're killing me
You know I'll always want you back
I'll never let you go
